Chapter Summary

Comprehending the philosophy of treating the entire world as one family (मन्ये च कुटुम्बं वसुधराम्) and the wisdom (सुविवेका) to choose both what is pleasant (प्रेयः) and what is beneficial (श्रेयः).
Recognizing India's wealth in science (विज्ञानधना), knowledge (ज्ञानधना), literature, art, and music (साहित्यकला-सङ्गीतपरा), and the concept of spiritual purification (परिपूता).
