Verse 24

²⁴Knowing that they had come with every hope given up, wanting to see the self, he who is the seer behind all seeing spoke, his face smiling. ²⁵Welcome to you, greatly favoured ones. Sit down. What shall we do for you? That you have come wanting to see us is only what one would look for in you. ²⁶Truly, those who are skilled and see their own good give me a devotion that is straight, that has no motive behind it and nothing standing in between, as to what the self loves. ²⁷Life, understanding, mind, one's own self, wife, children, wealth and the rest became dear by contact with something: who then is dearer than that? ²⁸So go to the place of sacrifice. Your husbands, the twice-born, who keep households, will finish their session with you.
