2. The statement that knowledge yields all that is desired intends that it does so (through action), being a complement to action which is the main cause of attaining to Svarga, as in the case of other complements; thus Gaimini thinks.

Indeed knowledge has power to lead (the soul) to release; but in the matter of leading to Svarga, etc., it has that power only as subserving action, the chief means thereof; for it is said that “only the wise obtain Svarga by the free gift of their wealth, by subjecting the body to the pains of austerity and by duly discharging the duties of a householder, but those who are without knowledge can by no means (obtain it).” So says Gaimini,

3. On account of practice observed (among the gods alto who have already attained wisdom).

Since the gods too who have attained wisdom are observed (to practise the sacrificial acts), (Gaimini thinks knowledge is complementary to Karma).

4. Because of such Scriptural statement.

“Whatever the individual does with knowledge, with faith (in the Supreme), becomes more efficacious” (Ch. I. 1. 10); thus the text shows that knowledge is complementary to action.

5. Also from Scripture which states that Svarga, etc., are chiefly the products of action. (Karma or action is the chief cause of the celestial, human or any other body, from the Shruti explicitly declaring it as the chief agency).

And this is seen from the Mathara Shruti, “It is only action that produces the body of the gods, of men; and there is no other cause thereof; and action itself apportions to each according to his lot, the good or evil experiences (to be undergone by the soul). The word ‘chiefly ‘Sam’ shows that action is the important means and not (the secondary),

6. On account of its being enjoined upon him who has that (i.e., knowledge).

For there is the injunction applying even to him that has attained wisdom as in the text, “The wise also shall always do the works that are laid down (by Scripture); and he shall always be free from the desire of the fruit. (Kamatha Shruti).
