Those teachers who were under the influence of greed, fear, hatred, jealousy, etc. and were devoid of mercy,—it is the teaching of such persons which could be partial and local.—(3570)

Those teachers, on the other hand, who were led by mercy alone,—who had a clear perception of the truth,—who had no fear of any contradiction,—imparted their teachings to all. As a man, through ignorance, goes on being affected by defects, so there grows in the lords, mercy towards him.—They do not desire to establish any such connection with men as that of vivāha (marriage) or āvāha (home-coming of the bride) and so forth; the only thought in their mind is that of doing good to others. That is what has been so well sung of.—(3571-3573)

‘The wise ones view with equal regard—the Brāhmaṇa equipped with learning and character, the bull, the elephant, the dog and the dog-eater.’—[Bhagavadgītā].—(3574)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

[verse 3570]:

The following text shows that it is in the case of Manu and other teachers, who imparted the teaching to Vedic scholars alone, that it is possible for the teachings to have been propounded for the purpose of deluding those people:—[see verse 3570 above]

On the other hand, the Teaching of the Blessed Lord was imparted to all men down to the veriest child;—and such Teaching only bears testimony to their high-souled character.—This is pointed out in the following:—[see verses 3571-3573 above]

[verses 3571-3573]

‘Āvāha’—is the coming of the Bride to the house of the Bridegroom.—(3571-3573)

Question;—“What has been so well sung of?”

Answer;—[see verse 3574 above]
