* So Nīlakaṇṭha. Arjuna Miśra does not take guṇa here to mean 'wick,'

* I.e., I presume, in its manifestations; it is perceived for some time and then vanishes. Cf. Sankhya-kârikâ 59-61; the Purusha is not 'perceived' in this sense. * Viz. of admonition, Arjuna Misra.

* Cf. Gita, p. 70, where the same phrase occurs.

5 The fruit of this is uncertain; what one should work for is the knowledge that resides within oneself.
