The verse repeats what was said in the third verse of this chapter, and this repetition, in such a book, is not superfluous: habit can also be good. Let the conclusion be repeated briefly, for it is, I think, the chief practical position of this whole second chapter. Other books demanded the exhaustion of habits in general; this one distinguishes, and proposes not to erase the rut, but to cut a new one.
And the Vaishnava side holds the same: the old rut is not erased, but overgrown, because one drives the new. Add what is added here to the third verse: the pure habit is called janma-vināśinī, «destroying birth». That is, a good habit is not merely better than a bad one: it leads out.
This position, I think, is worth noting, for it diverges from the usual assertion in these books that even the good binds with a golden chain; we cited it when reading the thirty-first verse. That is, here too the book speaks doubly: in one place the good is told to be abandoned, in another it destroys birth. The Vaishnava side resolves this by its own distinction, cited there too: the chain is abandoned, not the occupation; and a golden chain ceases to be a chain when it is worn not for the gold.
On this reading, both places agree: a pure habit leads out, so long as it has not been claimed.
