Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Having renounced all attachments.’—‘Attachment’ stands for the notion of ‘mine’ that people have with regard to such things as the cow, the horse, the elephant, gold, slaves, wife, agricultural lands, houses and so forth. When this has been renounced, and the man has begun to delight in solitude;—having taken to this as the principal method, and in the manner detailed above—i.e., by the due performance of the temporal and spiritual acts prescribed—he ‘reposes in Brahman,’—which is of the nature of pure consciousness; and he is no longer fettered by actions. This is what is meant by the phrase ‘from ail pairs of opposites’—i.e., pleasures and pains as resulting from good and bad acts.—‘he becomes freed’—(81)
