अपश्यत्स मुनिश्रेष्टः स्वात्मानं प्रकृतेः परम् । आत्मनोधिगतज्ञानाद्द्वेवादीनि महामुने ॥ ३३ ॥
apaśyatsa muniśreṣṭaḥ svātmānaṃ prakṛteḥ param | ātmanodhigatajñānāddvevādīni mahāmune || 33 ||
Alors le meilleur des sages contempla son propre Soi comme transcendant la Prakṛti. Et, ô grand muni, par la connaissance réalisée dans l’Ātman, la haine et les autres impulsions affligeantes furent dissipées.

FAQs
It states that liberation begins when the sage directly realizes the Self as beyond material nature (Prakṛti); this inner realization naturally dissolves hatred and related mental afflictions.

No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is yogic-vedāntic discipline—cultivating self-knowledge to remove dveṣa and other inner obstacles.
