Therefore, desiring to perceive the truth, one should acquire knowledge through practice; / just as a lamp shines in darkness, there the treatise produces light. / Thus said the venerable Ātreya. / Thus ends the seventeenth chapter in Bheḷa. / / Eighteenth chapter. / Now we shall explain the chapter on guarding food; thus said the venerable Ātreya.
