Sūtra translation
Notwithstanding, the wise man shall be possessed of devotional tranquillity, control of senses, etc., on account of these being specially enjoined upon him (the wise), and on account of their being the came of enhancing the effect of knowledge and, as such, being fit to be necessarily observed.
Though release is ensured to be the invariable effect of wisdom alone, yet the wise should possess the devo- tional calmness, control over senses, etc.; for these are enjoined upon the wise also, in the text, “ After having obtained Vidya (scriptural knowledge) from the precep- tor and after having directly seen the Lord within, he shall calmly fix his heart on the Lord, control his senses, shall be helpful to the good, shall worship the precep- tor, he shall worship the preceptor.” (Mâthara Sruti). And they are fit to be accomplished as they are seen to be auxiliaries to knowledge from the text, “ We have imparted to you the Upanishad treating of the highest Brahman; and the mainstay of the Upanishad (the know- ledge derived from the Upanishad) consists of austerity, control of passions, the duties (belonging to Varna and Asrama); and the sources (lit. abode) of the Up- anishad are the Vedas, their supplementary disciplines and Mimamsa. He who knows this Upanishad to be such (becomes established in the highest Brahman that is shining in the unlimited world of Svarga ” (Tal. IV. 7.9). “ Heavenly bliss is intended for him who has ob- tained knowledge, and there is no question about it. Of that knowledge, devotional calmness, etc., are auxi- liaries, therefore they are necessary to be accomplished. Otherwise the fruit of knowledge would be meagre ” (Agneya Purana). By the term ‘ specially,' (/«) perfect- ness of the fruit is indicated (when the wise possesses the additional virtues).
