3A1. To the Sannyasin who has gone through the act of hearing, the Sniti passage, ''Calm, self-controlled'^ etc., pres- cribes Samadhi, for his realisation of the universe as his own self.

Hearing — ihe truth from the lips of the Guru, after the prescribed manner.

"'Calm, self-cmitrolled'^ £=fr. — The reference is to Brihadaranyaka Upa. IV. iv. 23. ]

342. Even wise men cannot suddenly destroy egoism after it has once become strong, barring those who are perfectly calm through the Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Desires are verily the effect of innumer- able births.
