² It is pointed out by Vidyāraṇya that the *Āruṇikopaniṣad* describes the conduct and character of *vividiṣā-saṃnyāsa*, in which one is asked to have a staff, one loin-cloth and to repeat the Āraṇyakas and the Upaniṣads only, and the *Parama-haṃsopaniṣat* describes the conduct and character of *vidvat-saṃnyāsa*, in which no such repetition of the Upaniṣads is held necessary, since such a person is fixed and steady in his Brahma knowledge. This makes the difference between the final stages of the two kinds of renunciation (*Jīvan-mukti-viveka*, I. 20–24).
