The third example, and the most direct.
Note that what is listed is exactly that by which the third chapter dissected the body: flesh and bones (3.31, 3.39).
There the dissection was a device of revulsion; here the same dissection serves discernment. One and the same observation — “this is flesh and bones” — can be used both for squeamishness and for freedom.
The definition of oneself is given in two words: anyaḥ and paraḥ — “other” and “higher”.
The first separates: I am not that. The second states the order: I am not merely other, I am above.
The word niścitavān — “firmly resolved” — is of the same root as the niścaya of 2.2. The speech is of settledness, not of a guess.
And antaḥ is added — “within”. Not in words.
