    Natarajan's translation of these verses:

    229: Vedanta is to be Rid of Desires
    The Brahmins who yearned for Vedanta's mystic truths,
    Heard and listened but yielded still to desire's sway;
    True Vedanta it is when earth-born desires all are crushed;
    Those who Vedanta truly grasped, all desires burnt away.

    230: Tuft and Thread Alone do not Make a Brahmin
    Do thread and tuft alone prove the Brahmin state?
    The thread, then, only a dark bond, the fine tuft, only tresses long;
    The true thread Vedantam is, the sacred tuft wisdom proves
    These the Brahmnins truly see, these virtues to them belong.

    231: Attributes of True Brahmins
    Of Truth devoid, of pure Wisdom Bereft,
    Lacking sense-control, spiritually inert,
    Empty of devotion or grasp of Truth divine;
    Mad fools are they--not Brahmins, I assert.
