(5) sacrifice like that of eight queens of Vaasudev Shrikrishna and indulgence in austerities like that of queens of king Shrenik.
This Sutra also provides numerous inspirational descriptions about knowledge, faith, conduct, observing religious codes and profound belief. Conclusion
Although this Sutra is brief and small in size, it is deeply effective like couplets of Satsai. It stirs the religious feelings and provides intense inspiration to abandon mundane indulgences and accept the spiritual path. Being the sermon of the omniscient, every word of this work is pregnant with profound meaning.
That is the reason that this Sutra is recited during the eight days of the Paryushan Purva and worthy people are inspired towards indulging in austerities for purification of soul.
It can be conclusively stated that this Sutra evokes strong inspiration to endeavour for purity of soul and liberation through austerities.
