    1. The knowledge of the Vedānta and the means which prepare men for the knowledge of the Ātman, the ‘Self, the universal soul,’ are placed in this Paṭala at the head of the penances, because they are most efficacious for the removal of all sin. The means are absence of anger &c., which are enumerated I, 8, 23, 6.

  4. Haradatta gives in his commentary a lengthy discussion on the Ātman, which corresponds nearly to Śaṅkara’s Introduction to and Commentary on the first Sūtra of Bādarāyaṇa. ↩︎

  6. According to Haradatta, the following verses are taken from an Upaniṣad. ↩︎

  7. The spotless one &c. is the Paramātman. The spots are merit and demerit which, residing in the Manas, the internal organ of perception, are only falsely attributed to the Ātman, ’the soul.’ To become immortal means ’to obtain final liberation.’ ↩︎

  9. It seems to me that Haradatta’s explanation of the words ‘idam idi ha idi ha’ is wrong. They ought to be divided thus, ‘idamid, iha id, iha loke.’ The general sense remains the same, and there is no necessity to assume very curious and otherwise unknown Vedic forms. ↩︎

  10. The verse is addressed by a teacher to his pupil. My translation strictly follows Haradatta’s gloss. But his interpretation is open to many doubts. However, I am unable to suggest anything better. ↩︎

  11. The Sutra contains a further description of the Paramātman. ↩︎

  12. Haradatta explains the word viṣṭap, ‘heaven,’ by ‘pain-freed greatness,’ apparently misled by a bad etymology. The heaven of the Ātman is, of course, liberation, that state where the individual soul becomes merged in the Brahman or Paramātman, which is pure essence, intelligence and joy. ↩︎
