ANÁTMA ÙRI VIGARHAÏA
(Section dealing with the censure of all acquisitions
except of the Knowledge of the Self.)
The above Prakaraïa (section dealing with the vanity of all acquisitions), consists of eighteen verses including the last two which deal with the fruit of mastering and thinking on it. The style is simple in diction and sublime in ideas, and accords well with the style of Ùri Ùañkara's Mohamudgara. The necessity for knowledge of the Self (Átmabodha) through direct Self-realisation (Aparokúa-anubhüti) is emphasized here. The best possession is the knowledge of the Self. The Mohanudgara exhorts thus : - ``Think about the Self'' (átmánam bhávaya); ``Who am I?'' (ko'ham)?. The body is only a temporary abode for the Soul. It is only an instrument meant for doing good deeds. It is a Temple which has worth only so long as the God or Soul exists therein.
The refrain ``Tataç kim?'' (what then?) signifies the vanity and futility of what has been stated before.
