The man of faith, the trusting one, free of reviling, who would but listen to this treatise, the word 'even' implying how much more one who knows its meaning; he too, freed of sin, would attain the auspicious, praiseworthy worlds of those of meritorious action, of those who have done the fire-oblation and the rest. Wishing to know whether the disciple has or has not grasped the meaning of the scripture, the Lord asks. If it is found that he has not grasped it, the questioner's intent is 'I shall make him grasp it by some other means too'. And it is shown to be the teacher's duty to take up further effort and bring the disciple to his goal.
