adanti caikaṃ phalam asya gṛdhrā grāme-carā ekam araṇya-vāsāḥ /
haṃsā ya ekaṃ bahu-rūpam ijyair māyā-mayaṃ veda sa veda vedam //
23. The kites frequenting the village (the jivas that are attached to domestic life) and full of desires eat of the one fruit, i. e., misery and those who live in the forest (ascetics) and are full of discrimination and hence called Hamsas, eat of the other fruit; he who through preceptors tries to know the one Paramatman to be full of Mayas and in various forms is the one that has understood the Vedas.
