विवेकवैराग्यगुणातिरेका
च्छुद्धत्वमासाद्य मनो विमुक्त्यै
भवत्यतो बुद्धिमतो मुमुक्षो-
स्ताभ्यां दृढाभ्यां भवितव्यमग्रे ॥ १७५ ॥

crimination and renunciation, the mind makes for
liberation. Hence the wise sceker after liberation must
first strengthen these two.

2Renunciation-Of the non-Self.]
मनो नाम महाव्याघ्रो विषयारण्यभूमिषु ।
चरत्यत्र न गच्छन्तु साधवो ये मुमुक्षवः ॥ १७६ ॥
176. In the forest-tract of sense-pleasures there prowls
a huge tiger called the mind. Let good people who have
a longing for liberation never go there.
मनः प्रसूते विषयानशेषान्
स्थूलात्मना सूक्ष्मतया च भोक्तुः ।
शरीरवर्णाश्रमजातिभेदान्
गुणक्रियाहेतुफलानि नित्यम् ॥ १७७ ॥
