Sanskrit Original
।।6.1।।ँ़ ज्ञानान्तरङ्गं समाधियोगमाद्वानेनाध्यायेन। विवक्षितं सन्न्यासमाह योगेन सह अनाश्रित इति। चतुर्थाश्रमिणोऽप्यग्निः क्रिया चोक्तादैवमेव 4।25 इत्यादौ।अग्निर्ब्रह्म च तत्पूजा क्रिया न्यासाश्रमे स्मृता इति च। तस्मान्निरग्निरक्रियः सन्न्यासी योगी च न भवत्येव।
On the inward knowledge, samādhi-yoga — by this chapter (the one before) renunciation has been declared. He says: sannyāsa together with yoga is ‘anāśrita’ (not dependent on external support). Even the fourth āśrama’s fire and actions are mentioned as before (4.25 etc.). Fire, Brahman, that worship, action and initiation are reckoned as āśramas. Therefore, one who is without fire and without action is not a sannyāsī nor a yogī — so it is.
