51. O delight of Raghu’s race! this our meeting is a very congenial one and well adapted to each other, wherein you as inquirer are an admirer of virtue, and I the speaker, am well acquainted (with the subject).
52. You that understand the meaning of words, should well consider all what I tell you, and take them to your heart.
53. You are truly great and disgusted with the world, and know the truth among mankind; whatever is spoken to you must be impressed in your mind as the red dye on muslin.
54. You by your attention to what I say and discrimination of spiritual matters, can make your understanding receive my instruction as the waters reflect the sun-light.
55. Receive all that I say and store them diligently in your mind; or else it is useless to ask me anything.
56. The mind, O Ráma! is as fickle as an ape in the forest, correct it carefully and attend to spiritual instruction.
57. Keep yourself always from the injudicious and ignorant, and those addicted to the company of wicked people, and honour the virtuous.
58. It is by association with good people that we can gain wisdom, which resembles a tree yielding the fruits both of enjoyment and liberation (i.e., both of worldly and future good).
59. There are four guards said to keep watch at the gate of Liberation, namely: peace, judgment, contentment and the society of the good.
60. All these or three or two of them are to be attended with care, because they shall open to you the door leading to the abode of liberation.
