‘Saumyatvam’ and ‘akrauryam’: akrura is called saumyas—these are synonyms. ‘Mouna’ is contemplative steadiness. ‘Bālya and pañditya are not known to the sage’—so the Shruti states. By this it is held that all this (indeed everything) is what the sage regards as infinite; hence it is said, ‘from that the sage is named.’ How else could mental austerity be called austerity?
