Commentary Hence, the Śāstra is to be regarded as the only authority in deciding what ought to be accepted and what ought to be rejected. You should try to understand, neither more nor less than what constitutes the Truth and act according to the injunctions of the Śāstras.

Having learnt them, you should accept them alone and act accordingly. hariḥ oṃ tatsat iti śrīmad bhagavad gītāsūpaniṣatsu brahma-vidyāyāṃ yoga-śāstre śrī kṛṣṇārjuna saṃvāde daivāsura -sampad-vibhāga-yogo nāma ṣoḍaśo’dhyāyaḥ Thus in the Upanishads of the Glorious Bhagavad Gita The science of the Eternal, the Scripture of Yoga The dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna Ends the sixteenth discourse entitled “The Division between the Divine and the Non-Divine”
