विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि | शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः
vidyāvinayasampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini . śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ samadarśinaḥ
具学识与谦逊的婆罗门、母牛、大象，乃至狗和食狗肉者，智者皆以平等心视之。
The learned ones look with eanimity on a Brahmana endowed with learning and humality, a cow, an elephant and even a dog as well as an eater of dog's meat.
解脱的圣者，即吉万穆克塔（Jivanmukta），或一位婆罗门，拥有平等的洞察力，因为他处处只看到自性（Atman）。这种智者（Jnani）的宏伟视野是无法言喻的。阿特曼（Atman）或梵（Brahman）绝不受限制性条件（Upadhis）的影响，因为祂极其精微、纯净、无形且无属性。太阳的光影落在恒河、海洋或污浊的溪流中，太阳本身丝毫未受影响，这对太阳没有任何区别。至高自性亦是如此，限制性条件无法影响祂。正如以太不受容器、房间墙壁、云等限制性条件的影响，自性也同样不受限制性条件的影响。婆罗门是悦性（Sattvic）的。母牛是激性（Rajasic）的。大象、狗和贱民是惰性（Tamasic）的。圣者在所有这些生命中看到唯一同质、不朽的自性，祂不受三德（Gunas）及其倾向的影响。
The liberated sage or Jivanmukta or a Brahmana has eal vision as he beholds the Self only everywhere. This magnificent vision of a Jnani is beyond description. Atman or Brahman is not at all affected by the Upadhis or limiting adjuncts as He is extremely subtle? pure? formless and attributeless. The suns reflection falls on the river Ganga? on the ocean or on a dirty stream. The sun is not at all affected in any way. This makes no difference to the sun. So is the case with the Supreme Self. The Upadhis (limiting adjuncts) cannot affect Him. Just as the ether is not affected by the limiting adjuncts? viz.? a pot? the walls of a room? cloud? etc.? so also the Self is not affected by the Upadhis.The Brahmana is Sattvic. The cow is Rajasic. The elephant? the dog and the outcaste are Tamasic. The sge sees in all of them the one homogeneous immortal Self Who is not affected by the three Gunas and their tendencies. (Cf.VI.8?32XIV.24)
