अनैभृत्येन वै तस्य दीक्षितव्रतमाचरेत् । नामैतद्धातुनिर्वृत्तं सत्यमेव सतां परम् । ज्ञानं वै नाम प्रत्यक्षं परोक्षं जायते तपः॥५-४३-२८॥
For this, one should undertake the vow of initiation (dīkṣā) without dependence on servants or external supports. This is not merely a name derived from verbal roots; truth (satya) alone is the highest for the good. Knowledge is what is directly evident; austerity (tapas) gives rise to indirect, mediated knowledge.
