Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Thus’ refers to the methods of the Lifelong Student.
‘He who thus keeps his Studentship unflinchingly’—without failing,—‘goes to’—obtains—‘the highest place’—above; i.e., he attains the Supreme Self.
‘Is not born again into this world—he does not fall into the cycle of births. That is, he becomes absorbed into Brahman.—(249)
