That man who is gifted with such a conduct is said to be the foremost of ascetics. The senses, the objects of the senses, the (five) great elements, mind, understanding, egoism, the unmanifest. Purusha also, after comprehending these duly with the help of correct inferences, one attains to the celestial region, released from all fetters. One conversant with the truth, understanding these at the time of the termination of his life, should mediate, exclusively resting on one point. Then, depending on none, none, one acquires Liberation. Freed from all attachments, like the wind in space, with his hoarded up means exhausted, without distress of any sort, he attains to the highest goal.
य एवं वृत्तसम्पन्नः स मुनिः श्रेष्ठ उच्यते। इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थांश्च महाभूतानि पञ्च च॥ मनो बुद्धिरहंकारमव्यक्तं पुरुषं तथा। एतत् सर्वं प्रसंख्याय यथावत् तत्त्वनिश्चयात्॥ ततः स्वर्गमवाप्नोति विमुक्तः सर्वबन्धनैः। एतावदन्तवेलायां परिसंख्याय तत्त्ववित्॥ ध्यायेदेकान्तमास्थाय मुच्यतेऽथ निराश्रयः। निर्मुक्तः सर्वसङ्गेभ्यो वायुराकाशगो यथा॥ क्षीणकेशो निरातङ्गस्तथेदं प्राप्नुयात् परम्॥
