VIVEKACŪDĀMANI
अतो विमुक्त्यै प्रयतेत विद्वान्
संन्यस्तवाह्यार्थसुखस्पृहः सन् ।
सन्तं महान्तं समुपेत्य देशिकं
तेनोपदिष्टार्थ समाहितात्मा ॥ ८ ॥
8. Therefore the man of learning should strive his best
for liberation, having renounced his desire for pleasures
from external objects, duly approaching a good and
generous preceptor, and fixing his mind on the truth in-
culcated by him.

[1Duly-That is, according to the prescribed mode. (Vide Mupdaka,
J. ii. 12.) The characteristics of a qualified Guru are given later on in

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं मग्नं संसारवारिधौ ।
योगारूढत्वमासाद्य सम्यग्दर्शननिष्ठया ॥ ९ ॥
9. Having attained the yogārudha state, I one should
recover oneself, immersed in the sea of birth and death,
by means of devotion to right discrimination.
[1Yogāridha state--Described in Gitā, VI. 4-When one is attached
neither to sense-objects nor to actions, and has given up all desires,
then he is said to be yogurudha or to have ascended the yoga-path."]
