Verse 529

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ५२९ ॥

In plain words

A father will sell his own son to keep his body fed, and kill him if the boy turns against him. So the son is not the ātman — never, not for a moment.

Close to the Sanskrit

Him he sells for the sake of the body, and, when hostile, he kills him; therefore the son can never be the Self.
