Now of such prerequisites there are four, viz. discrimination of what is permanent and what is non-permanent; the full possession of calmness of mind, self-restraint and similar means; the renunciation of all enjoyment of fruits here below as well as in the next world; and the desire of final release.
So there are the two old commonplaces of moralists set forth in these grand words the unsatisfying character of all merely external delights and possessions, and also their transitory character. They are non-substantial and non-permanent. Nothing that is without a man can make him rich or restful. The treasures which are kept in coffers are not real, but only those which are kept in the soul.
Well then let us admit that there is no difficulty as far as sacrifices are concerned, for the reason stated in the preceding Sutra. But another difficulty presents itself with regard to the words of which the Veda consists. For if Indra and the other gods are corporeal beings, it follows that they are made up of parts and hence non-permanent.
