นี่คือหนทางของเขา—ปราศจากความแบ่งแยก—อันแสดงเป็นการสละสิ้นทั้งปวง. ด้วยหนทางนี้ ความทุกข์ย่อมถูกสลัดทิ้งโดยสิ้นเชิง; มิฉะนั้นย่อมตกสู่คติอันอัปมงคล.

FAQs
It defines moksha as a single, non-contradictory path: total letting-go of attachment, which directly removes sorrow; clinging leads to durgati (a degraded course of life).
While phrased as renunciation, it supports bhakti by insisting on sarvatyāga—giving up possessiveness and egoic grasping—so devotion becomes one-pointed and free from inner conflict (advaidha).
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline (vairagya and tyaga) as the applied method for ending duhkha.
