COMMENTARY Just as knowledge, belief, and conduct of a person called Devadatta, cannot have separate and independent existence apart from that person, so also knowledge, belief, and conduct relaung to the Pure Self cannot have any independent existence apart from it and hence may be identified with its true nature The thiee jewels above referred to, when cherished as the ideal to be aimed at, constitute vyavhāra ratna-traya But wher they are realised as identical with the Self, they constitute the nischaya-ratna-traya Thus the nischaya and vyavahāra points of view in the case stand in the relation of sadhya and sādhana, the ideal achieved and the method of achievement

एव हि जीवराजा ज्ञातव्यस्तथैव श्रद्धातव्य ।
अनुचरितव्यश्च पुन स चैव तु मोक्षकामेन ॥१८॥ 17 and 18 As a man knowing the king believes in hin and with the object of gain serves him with resourcefulness even so should the king, the soul, be known, believed in ani attended to with the object of emancipation
