Sūtra 27 hānau tūpāyana-śabda-śeṣatvāt kuśācchanda-stuty-upagānavat tad uktam hānau—in destruction; tu—indeed; upāyana—approaching; śabda—statement; śeṣatvāt—because of being a supplement; kuśa—kuśa grass; ācchanda—according to desire; stuti—prayer; upagāna—song; vat—like; tat—that; uktam—said. But in liberation because of approaching, because of the Śruti-śāstra, and because of the means to the end it is like voluntary kuśa grass, prayers and hymns. This is said. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The word "tu" (but) is used here to begin the refutation of the opponent's argument. When, by understanding the truth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, a person becomes free from the ropes of matter, such a wise devotee falls in love with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In that condition he spontaneously meditates on the qualities of the Lord as they are described in the revealed scriptures. He does this as a person voluntarily takes kuśa grass, recites prayers, and sings hymns. As a student, when his daily studies are completed, may of his own accord take kuśa grass in his hand and then recite prayers and sing hymns, so the liberated souls of their own accord meditate on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is hinted by the use of the word "abhidhyāna". The reason for this is given in the word "upāyana" (he has approached the Supreme Lord). The word "upāyana" means that he loves the Lord and he has approached the Lord. The word "śabda" means "words of instruction". The word "śeṣatvāt" means "because all these words are the means to attain a specific end". This is described in Bṛhad- āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.4.21): tam eva dhīraḥ . . . . "A wise man, aware of the Lord's true nature, should engage his intelligence in the Lord's service. He should not meditate on other things. He should not waste many words speaking of other things." In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (3.9.41) the Lord Himself says: pūrtena tapasā yajñair
