tadaitau ślokau bhavataḥ॥

These two are the verses of the Lord:

"tisro mātrā mṛtyumatyaḥ prayuktā anyonyasaktā anaviprayuktāḥ। kriyāsu bāhyābhyantaramadhyamāsu samyak prayuktāsu na kampatejñaḥ॥"

"ṛgbhiretaṃ yajurbhirantarikṣaṃ sāmabhir yattat kavayo vedayante। tamoṅkāreṇaivāyanenānveti vidvān yattacchāntamajaramamṛtamabhayaṃ parātparaṃ ca॥"

"Three mortal measures are applied to various desires and also to those without special connection. The wise are not shaken by these actions well applied on the external, the internal, and the middle (regions). Knowledgeable proclaim one attains - by the Rig Veda this (i.e. earthly world - 'bhu'), intermediate space (i.e. 'bhuva') by the Yajur Veda, and by the Sama Veda that (i.e. heavenly world 'sva'). The wise one follows that path of 'Om' alone, which is peaceful, ageless, immortal, fearless, beyond, and the supreme."

॥iti pañcama praśnaprativacanam॥

Thus ends the fifth question and answer.
