Shloka 6
अन्तर्वन-विद्यारण्योपमा
The Allegory of the Inner Forest of Knowledge
न तत्राविश्य शोचन्ति न प्रहृष्यन्ति च द्विजा: । न च बिभ्यति केषांचित् तेभ्यो बिभ्यति केचन
na tatrāviśya śocanti na prahṛṣyanti ca dvijāḥ | na ca bibhyati keṣāṃcit tebhyo bibhyati kecana ||
Pagpasok sa gubat na iyon, ang mga dwija (dalawang ulit na isinilang) ay hindi nalulumbay at hindi rin nagagalak. Wala silang kinatatakutang nilalang, at wala ring nilalang na natatakot sa kanila.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches equanimity and harmlessness: the disciplined person is not swayed by sorrow or joy, does not fear others, and—by being nonthreatening—does not become a cause of fear for any creature.
A Brāhmaṇa speaker describes the conduct and inner state of the twice-born in a forest setting: they enter it without emotional turbulence and live so peacefully that mutual fear between them and other beings does not arise.
