=== Commentary (टीका) ===
 
This verse outlines the essential qualifications for undertaking the inquiry into Brahman. It emphasizes the importance of *viveka* (discrimination) and *vairagya* (detachment) as foundational virtues that prepare a seeker for higher spiritual inquiries. The presence of virtues such as *śama* (calmness) and the sincere desire for liberation (*mumukṣutva*) are highlighted as necessary traits. Together, these qualities prepare the aspirant to embark on the deeper philosophical and spiritual exploration that the inquiry into Brahman entails. In the Vedantic tradition, these qualities are often grouped as part of *sādhanā catuṣṭaya*, the fourfold qualification necessary for self-realization.
  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.
