He by whom that sūtra is known—he is a seeker of liberation; he is a mendicant. He is a knower of the Veda, of good conduct; he is a vipra, a purifier of the (dining) row.

Verse Context

• Jñāna as the criterion of true renunciation (mumukṣutva, sannyāsa) and spiritual authority
• Mahavakya: Aligns with mahāvākya intent (identity-knowledge as liberating), especially ‘prajñānaṃ brahma’ insofar as knowing the ultimate principle defines the realized seeker; not a direct quotation.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
