The key difference from the version in the second book is one word: there it was udyāsyan, "I am going away", here pravrajiṣyan — "I am going away as a wanderer", taking up sannyāsa: the order of renunciation is named outright. The Upaniṣad, which has just described through Yājñavalkya's mouth those who, "rising above desires, live the life of mendicants" (4.4.22), shows the teacher fulfilling his own word: he goes by the very road he preached.
And before the last road, an honest domestic duty: the settlement. Renunciation in the Vedic sense is no flight from obligations but their completion: first provide for those you leave, then go. Sannyāsa begins not with a staff but with care.
