* Cf. Gita, p.103. Sankara suggests an alternative explanation of this stanza, which will make it mean that one performing the operations of the senses, should devote oneself nevertheless to the unknown principle, and not consider the senses to be the self.
* Le. beyond the reach of inference ; ‘subtle,’ says Sankara. Cf. Svetâsvatara, p. 364; Bṛihadaraṇyaka, p. 855; Maitri, p.182; and Kaṭha, p. 149, where Sankara suggests a somewhat different meaning. As to immovable, cf. Isa, p. 10, and Gita, p. 104. Sankara renders it by ‘void of activity ;’ and pure he paraphrases by ‘free from ignorance and other taints.’
* It is difficult to say what ‘in this way’ refers to. Sankara renders it by ‘as possessing qualities appertaining to the two kinds of body.’ On Sankara’s suggested meaning of the stanza preceding (see note 1), it would refer to the confusion of the senses with the self.
* Such a person is called a destroyer of his own self at Upanishad, p. 9.
* Le. by the troubles of worldly life.
* Cf. ‘without belongings’ at Gita, p. 128.
7 Anger and other obstacles to concentration of mind.
* Ie. unintelligent. The text of Vasishṭha referred to in note rie p- 159, says he should act like an unintelligent man. Cf. also Gaudapâda-kârikâs, p. 443, and Sariraka Bhashya, p. ro41.
* Le. singing the praises of their own greatness and worth, instead of keeping their ‘conduct unknown’
