Considering himself to the Infinite, he began to reflect on only the Eternal and Independent One. He renounced all ordinary duties, Virtue and Vice, Truth and Falsehood, Birth and Death, and all other things relating to the principles produced by Nature.
अनन्त इति कृत्वा स नित्यं केवलमेव च। धर्माधर्मों पुण्यपापे सत्यासत्ये तथैव च॥ जन्ममृत्यू च राजेन्द्र प्राकृतं तदचिन्तयत्। व्यक्ताव्यक्तस्य कर्मेदमिति नित्यं नराधिप॥
