Those, who are connected wilh the Asramas, such as the
widowers, are without Asrama life. They also are qualified
to do the meditation. Because Raikva and others, who do
not follow any stage of Asrama life, were seen to have been
qualified for the meditation upon the Brahman.
37. Api smaryate
This is said in the Smrtis also.v The Smrti text, ' through the silent recitation also a man becomes successful' (Manu. II-87) proves that the know}edge of the Brahman could be had through the silent recitation etc. by one who is not within the Asrama life.
38. Vissesaanugrahasca
And the knowledge is benefited through some special works. The text, 'By penance, abstinence, faith, and knowledge, one has to seek the Self'(Pra. I-10) proves that the knowledge is acquired through some special works not exclusively connected with the Asramas alone.
