सूक्ष्मभूत-भूतात्मविज्ञानम्
Knowing the subtle principle and the bhūtātman through yoga
तत् भवानेवमभ्यस्थ वर्ततां श्रूयतां तथा । एक एव चरेद् धर्म सिद्धयर्थमसहायवान्
tat bhavānevam abhyasya vartatāṃ śrūyatāṃ tathā | eka eva cared dharma-siddhyartham asahāyavān ||
Anakku! Dengarkanlah aturan-aturan dharma sannyāsa ini; latihlah dan hiduplah sesuai dengannya. Demi mencapai kesempurnaan rohani (siddhi), seorang pertapa hendaknya menjalankan dharma pelepasan seorang diri, tanpa mengambil seorang pun sebagai pendamping.
व्यास उवाच
Renunciant discipline must be internalized through practice and then lived out; for spiritual attainment (siddhi), the sannyāsin should observe the dharma of renunciation in solitude, without relying on companions.
Vyāsa continues instructing the listener on the rules and ethos of saṃnyāsa: first to practice and embody the teaching, and then to pursue the renunciant path alone as a means to spiritual accomplishment.
