Conditions are given, and they are the very worldly ones we examined when reading the Varāha (5.9); no need to repeat them. It is worth noting only two expressions. The first — samāpayya nidrām, "having finished sleep": that is, not to sit down still drowsy, and not to shortchange sleep either.
This rule is sensible and recurs in such books; and about brahma-muhūrta, the hour before dawn, it was said when reading the Jābāla-darśana (1.4). The second — nija-abhyāsa-mārgāt, "along the path of one's own practice." It is worth noting the word nija, "one's own."
That is, it is granted that everyone has their own path of practice, and the instruction is not one for all. Such a qualification is rare in such books and does it credit; and the Vaiṣṇava side holds the same through the word adhikāra, "fitness," discussed when reading the Varāha (5.10). Let us add what it adds to this and what distinguishes it.
Its rule is that one's "own" practice is not assigned by oneself: it is given by the teacher, for a person judges his own fitness worst of all. Hence for it there is no choosing a method to one's taste; and this, to my mind, is sensible: one who chooses his own practice will choose what is pleasant to him, not what is needed.
