Brahman"—climinating thus all that is not-Self, do away
with thy superimposition, which has come through the
momentum of (past) impressions.

तदेकनिष्ठया नित्यं स्वाध्यासापनयं कुरु ॥ २८२ ॥

since he has no idea of accepting or giving up. Therefore,
through constant engrossment on the Brahman, do away
with thy superimposition.
