English Translation
You are, a master of the science of battle, but you have never waited upon the aged. You know not the conclusions arrived at by those that have studied the subject briefly and fully. The conclusion of intelligent men who want salvation, is that of ascetic penances, renunciation, and knowledge of Brahma, the second is superior to the first, and the third is superior to the second.
