The observances for the twice-born celibate de¬ votees have been recounted.^ (Now I shall mention the obser¬ vances) : Celibacy, non-violence, forgiveness, cleanliness penance, self-control, contentment, truthfulness, faith in Vedas, etc. These are the special ancillaries of the religious vows. Even if one of the holy vows is lacking it does not® affect it.* 71-72a Hence, one endowed with the attributes of the Atman deserves to take up my Vrata (holy vow)—Many people who are devoid of lust, fear and anger have identified them¬ selves with me, have resorted to me and have been purified by this Yoga and have reached my state of being.** 72b As men approach me, so do I accept them.J
