19. Saving exhausted the other two (Prarabdha merit and demerit) ly actual experience, then (immediately) he attains to heaven.

Having by actual experience exhausted the consequences (i.e., fruits) of both good and evil works which have begun to bear their fruits, he attains to Brahman. The term ‘then’ shows the invariable rule (that only after the reduction of these two sets of works, he attains to Brahman, and after that reduction there is nothing to delay the attainment). And this is said in the following text: “When the individual has spent out the consequences of the two sets of works that have begun to yield fruits, he is sure to attain to Brahman or go to the hell of darkness, and there is no occasion for doubt here. The decaying of both the series of Prarabdha works invariably begins even at the distance of the period of a hundred Brahmas and this is a fact beyond question.”

End of the First Pada

FOURTH ADHYAYA

SECOND PADA

In this Pada are treated how the gods obtain release and how they depart from the body.

1. Speech (is withdrawn) into Mind, on account of this being seen (observed) and from the Word.

Uma presiding over speech is withdrawn into Rudra presiding over Mind; for it is a matter of observation that speech is under the control of Mind; and the Shruti (Word) runs thus; “He understands those round him until his Speech is not withdrawn into Mind (Ch. VI. 15.1). It is said in the Skanda: “By the wise, Uma indeed is called Speech and Rudra is called Mind; and he who knows this couple is not deprived of the blessing of wedlock.”

2. And from hence only, all (are retracted) in due order.

‘And from hence only’, i.e., from the same scriptural passage it is clear all the gods are in due order withdrawn, as declared in the well-known Shruti: “Into Fire all the gods are withdrawn, and Fire into Indra, and Indra into Uma, and Uma into Rudra and likewise all the other gods in due order.”
