Verse 48

⁴⁸Those masters of the yoga of the self, honoured by the first king, praised his character and rose into the sky while men stood looking on. ⁴⁹Vainya, foremost among the great, standing firm in the teaching about the inner self, held himself a man whose wishes were already met, and rested in the self. ⁵⁰And he did his works according to the time, the place, his strength, what was fitting and what he had, and made them over to Brahman. ⁵¹He laid the fruit in Brahman, unattached, gathered in himself, holding the self, which is beyond nature, to be the overseer of what is done. ⁵²Living in his house though he was, and with the splendour of an empire about him, he did not cling to what the senses want, and had no thought of I in him, like the sun.

⁵³So, doing his works by the yoga of the inner self, he begot on Arci five sons after his own mind.
