Verse 5

¹Your revealed word, Lord, both what it lays down and what it forbids, looks to the merit and the fault in men's works, lotus-eyed one; ²and to the sorting of men by class and stage, and to birth against the grain of it and with the grain; and to substances, places, ages and times; and to heaven, and to hell. ³Without a sight that divides merit from fault, how could your word, which is marked by its forbidding and its laying down, be the highest good of men? ⁴Your Veda is the eye of the fathers, the gods and men, Lord, and their good, in a matter no eye reaches, and in what is to be brought about and what brings it about.

⁵The sight that divides merit from fault comes from your revealed word and not of itself; and by that same word the dividing is taken back. So there is a bewilderment here.
