## Chapter Five

Thus, one who eats alms is called a "bhaikṣyāśana". What does he do? He performs austerities, he practices tapas. What does he do? He accepts, he takes. What? The vows. Where? At the feet of the guru, near the guru. What does he do? He goes, he travels. Where? To the forest of the munis, to the solitary hermitage. From where? From the home. || 26 ||

Even if one who performs austerities is ignorant of the scriptures, and thinks that he will become a knower of the good, then he is wrong. He should be certain that the dharma is the friend of the soul, and the evil is the enemy of the soul.

If one knows the time, then he will surely become a knower of the good. || 27 || If one knows the time, if one knows the scriptures, then he will surely, certainly, become a knower of the good, an excellent knower. What does he do? He is certain. How? He says, "Evil, etc." - Evil is the enemy, the foe of the soul, because it causes many harms. Dharma is the friend of the soul, because it causes many benefits. Thus, he is certain. || 27 ||

Now, showing the fruit of the one who practices the meaning of the scriptures, he says -

By whom, by himself, is the soul brought to the state of having a treasure chest of jewels, of knowledge, of vision, and of action? He attains the fulfillment of all desires, like a bride in her own wedding, in the three worlds. || 28 || By whom, by the noble one, by himself, the soul, the word here refers to the soul, is brought, is attained. Who? He says, "Free, etc." - The stain, the fault, of those who are free from stain, of knowledge, of vision, and of action, of knowledge, of vision, and of conduct, their treasure chest, that noble one, he attains, he reaches. What is that? The fulfillment of all desires, the fulfillment of dharma, artha, kama, and moksha, the fulfillment of all desires. By whom does he attain it? Like a bride in her own wedding, like a woman in her own choice. Where? In the three worlds, in the three realms. || 28 ||

He also says that the treasure chest of jewels, which is the perfect state of being, grows for me, and it should grow for everyone.

May the land of happiness make the lover happy, like a beloved woman, may the pure-minded one enjoy me, like a mother her son.
