enemies, who have attained the superior places in the world of Yoga and state
of Samadhi, who is immersed in the study of sacred scriptures and in this
manner attains the supreme knowledge which is eternal bliss, considered as a pious
person living in woods, though he is at home.

begin to learn about absolute truth mentioned in the Upanishads with utmost faith
and dedication, stay away from desires and sensual pleasures, completely
abandon the interests in worldly matters and remain blissfully in solitude,
they are considered as pious. Oh! Mortal,

the living beings, thoroughly understand the existence of Kartha/doer, and
perform ones duties and responsibilities are considered as pious. Oh! Mortals, who completely abandon the
desires and conduct rigorous search through the path of liberation, consume whatever received as nectar of alms and bring perfect control over senses,

they are stable minded and gracious, they have no desires and has thorough
knowledge of Athman, they remain in the constant association of illustrious
Rishis and Sages who dwells in the woods and thorough knowledge about Athman/absolute
Bhramam and its form.
