IV. - Text.
Svånanda bháve parithushti mantah, sasánta sarvéndriyathruprimantah, Aharnisam brahmaņi yiramantoh, kaupinavantah lhalubhágyavantoh.
Sense.
They are rich who feel and realize eternal bliss in a state of laya (introspective analysis), who know full well how much the pleasures of this life deceive and betray their unhappy votaries, and who therefore week in, week out, from morn to night," concentrate their thought on Parabrahma.
Note. "As men who climb a hill behold
The plain beneath them all unrolled, And thence with searching eye survey The clouds that pass along the way, So those on Wisdom's mount who stand A lofty vantage-ground command: They thence can scan the world below, Immersed in error, sin, and woe, Can ask how mortals vainly grieve, The true reject, the false receive, The good forsake, the bad embrace, The substance flee, and shadows chase; But none who have not gained that height, Can good and ill discern aright."-Sir Monier Monier-Williams
Indian Wisdom.
V. - Text. Panchaksharam pávana muchcharantah, pathun pa'sdrán hruthi bhdva yanthak. Bhikshasano thikshu paribhramantah, kaupina vantah khalubhagyavantah.
