विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि | शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः
vidyāvinayasampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini . śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ samadarśinaḥ
博學之士以平等心看待具備學問與謙遜的婆羅門、牛、象，乃至於狗和食狗肉者。
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.
解脫的聖者，即生而解脫者（Jivanmukta）或婆羅門，擁有平等觀，因為他處處只見到自我。這種智者（Jnani）的宏偉視野是無法言喻的。阿特曼（Atman）或梵（Brahman）絲毫不受限制性條件（Upadhis）的影響，因為祂極其精微、純淨、無形且無屬性。太陽的倒影落在恆河、海洋或污濁的溪流中，太陽本身絲毫未受影響，對太陽而言並無任何差別。至高自我亦是如此，限制性條件無法影響祂。正如虛空不受器皿、牆壁、雲朵等限制性條件的影響，自我亦不受這些限制性條件的影響。婆羅門是悅性（Sattvic），牛是變性（Rajasic），象、狗和賤民是惰性（Tamasic）。聖者在所有這些眾生中見到那唯一、同質、不朽的自我，祂不受三德（Gunas）及其傾向的影響。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第六章第8、32節；第十四章第24節)
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)
