4. His vital breaths fled from the tree of his body (_i.e._ from his lungs and arteries), and entered into the cavity of the heart, like birds let loose from the net, and flying to their nests (concentration of vital airs into the heart). 5. His corporeal body which was composed of flesh and bones and the organs of sense, remained of course beneath the shady branches of the woodland retreat; but his spirit roved beyond the bounds of the elemental worlds above. 6. His individual intellect was absorbed in the ocean of the Universal Intellect; as the particles of metallic substances are fused together in the same metal. So the soul of the sage found its rest in its intrinsic nature of the supreme soul. 7. Thus have I related to you, O Ráma! regarding the rest of the sage in his torpid quietism; all this is full of instruction, and you must consider well the hidden meaning which is contained therein. (The Gloss speaks a good deal about the mysticisms of yoga and the mysterious meanings of the words tanmaya and kaivalya, which are too long to be given in this place). 8. And know, O Ráma, that by your good gifts of these things, and perfections, you will be able to attain to that state of beatitude. 9. Consider well, O Ráma! all that I have told you already, and what I will at present and in future expound to you. 10. As I have myself known and well considered all these things in my long life, and by my experience of the past, and my knowledge of present and future events, so will you be also. (_i.e._ As he was a sage by his long experience, and a seer by his prescience). 11. Therefore have the clear sight or _clair-voyance_ of the sage, as I have shown to you, and know that it is by means of your transcendental knowledge alone, that you can have your emancipation in both worlds. (_i.e._ Perfect liberation in the present life, ensures the freedom of the next; and bondage in this state, leads to perpetual bondage in future). 12. The light of knowledge dispels the darkness of ignorance, and destroys the mist of false fears and woes; and knowledge alone is the cause of that consummation, which nothing else can bring about. 13. See how the sage Vítahavya destroyed all his desires, by means of his knowledge; and how he cleared the mountain of his mind, from all its poisonous plants of worldliness.
