“What is this Soul Entity? Which hath indelible glory and which is of queer substance.”2.127.
The Higher Soul said:
“This Soul is itself Brahman
” Who is of Everlasting Glory and is Unmanisfested and Desireless.
Who is indiscriminate, actionless and deathless
Who hath no enemy and friend and is Merciful towards all.3.1228.
It is neither drowned nor soaked
It can neither be chopped nor burnt.
It cannot be assailed by the blow of weapon
It hath neither an enemy nor a friend, neither caste not lineage.4.129.
By the blow of thousands of enemies, It is neither wasted away nor fragmented.
It is not burnt even in the fire. It is neither drowned in the sea nor soaked by the air.5.130.

“This world mentions four categories of Charities
Which are these categories, tell me Graciously.”6.131.

One is householder’s discipline, one is ascetic’s discipline.
All the world knows this one of four categories
That Soul makes enquiries from the Lord.7.132.

How this religious discipline was observed by the kings.
In Satyuga charities were given by performing virtuous actions
Indescribable charities of lands etc , were given.9.134.
