अर्थMeaning
'On this there is this verse: "When all desires which once entered his heart are undone, then does the mortal become immortal, then he obtains Brahman. 'And as the slough of a snake lies on an ant-hill, dead and cast away, thus lies this body; but that disembodied immortal spirit (prâna, life) is Brahman only, is only light.' Ganaka Vaideha said: 'Sir, I give you a thousand.'

व्याख्याVyakhya
'इस विषय में यह श्लोक है: 'जब इसके हृदय में स्थित सब कामनाएँ छूट जाती हैं, तब मर्त्य अमर हो जाता है और यहीं ब्रह्म को प्राप्त कर लेता है।' जैसे साँप की केंचुली बाँबी पर मरी हुई, फेंकी हुई पड़ी रहती है, वैसे ही यह शरीर पड़ा रहता है; और यह अशरीरी, अमृत प्राण (आत्मा) ब्रह्म ही है, तेज ही है।' विदेहराज जनक ने कहा, 'मैं भगवान् को एक सहस्र (गौएँ) देता हूँ।'
