The last mantra of the book, and it is remarkable for its everydayness.
First the chain of transmission is named: from Brahmā — to his sons — to Nārada — and so to Gāndharvī. Knowledge is not derived by argument and not received in a flash of insight: it is heard and passed on. The book's first part began the same way, with Brahmā telling the sages what he himself had received.
Then comes the word of dismissal: "go to thine own dwelling", gaccha tvaṁ svālayāntikam. No solemn conclusion, no parting promise.
And in this is the whole cast of the Uttara-tāpanī. It began with the cowherd women asking one morning to whom to take the food; it passes through the argument about the enjoyer and the non-enjoyer, through the account of the world's beginning, through the description of the abode and the litany of obeisances — and it ends with a woman being sent home.
The highest knowledge in this book nowhere leads out of life. It is received in passing, on the way across a river, and one returns home with it. So ends the Gopāla-tāpanī.
