=== Categories (वर्गीकरण) ===

* Dispassion (वैराग्य)
* Liberation (मुक्ति)


  4. **Mumukṣutva (Desire for Liberation)**: A strong, sincere desire to attain moksha, or liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Without this intense longing, other efforts may wane over time.
=== Commentary (टीका) ===
 
In this sloka, the qualifications necessary for a spiritual aspirant to undertake the inquiry into ''Brahman'' are outlined. It emphasizes the importance of ''viveka'' (discrimination) and ''vairāgya'' (dispassion), as well as possessing ethical virtues like ''śama'' (serenity). The key is the deep desire for liberation (''mumukṣutva''), which springs from understanding the transient nature of the world. This eligibility for ''brahma-jijñāsā'' (inquiry into Brahman) hence requires both an intellectual and an emotional readiness for truth.
  The verse is a succinct guide for aspirants on the spiritual path, suggesting that merely intellectual or ritualistic pursuits without these core qualities may not lead to true understanding or realization of Brahman. It invites aspirants to cultivate these virtues to qualify themselves for a deep and transformative inquiry into the ultimate truth.
