^176:1 The iti after adomaya is not clear to me, but it is quite clear that a new sentence begins with tadyadetat, which Regnaud, II, p. 101 and p. 139, has not observed.

^177:1 This may be independent matter, or may be placed again into the mouth of Yagnavalkya.

^177:2 Instead of vitatah, which perhaps seemed to be in contradiction with anu there is a Madhyandina reading vitara, probably intended originally to mean leading across. The other adjective mamsprishta I cannot explain. Sankara explains it by mam sprishtah, maya labdhah.

^177:3 That this is the true meaning, is indicated by the various readings of the Madhyandinas, tena dhira apiyanti brahmavida utkramya svargam lokam ito vimuktah. The road is not to lead to Svarga only, but beyond.

^177:4 See the colours of the veins as given before, IV, 3, 20.

^177:5 See Vag. Up. 9. Sankara in our place explains avidya by works, and vidya by the Veda, excepting the Upanishads.

^177:6 See Vag. Up. 3; Katha Up. I. 3.

^178:1 That he should be willing to suffer once more the pains inherent in the body. The Madhyandinas read sariram anu samkaret, instead of sangvaret.

^178:2 The body is meant, and is called deha from the root dih, to knead together. Roer gives samdehye gahane, which Sankara explains by samdehe. Poley has samdeghe, which is the right Kanva reading. The Madhyandinas read samdehe. Gahane might be taken as an adjective also, referring to samdehe.

^178:3 Sankara takes loka, world, for atma, self.

^178:4 I have followed Sankara in translating avedih by ignorant, but the text seems corrupt.

^178:5 The five ganas, i.e. the Gandharvas, Pitris, Devas, Asuras, and Rakshas; or the four castes with the Nishadas; or breath, eye, ear, food, and mind.

^179:1 See Talavak. Up. I, 2.

^179:2 See Katha Up. IV, 10-11.

^179:3 Let him practise abstinence, patience, &c., which are the means of knowledge.

^179:4 See Brih. Up. IV, 3, 7.

^179:5 See Khand. Up. VIII, 4.

^180:1 Cf. Brih. Up. III, 5, 1.

^180:2 See Brih. Up. III, 9, 26; IV, 2, 4.

^180:3 See Deussen, Vedanta, p. 85.

^180:4 As described in the dialogue between Ganaka and Yagnavalkya.
