The invocation now turns to Yājñavalkya’s ascetic dimension. Tapasvinam and tapovanagata place him in the lineage of forest-dwelling contemplatives. Jitāmitra — conqueror of enemies — is understood inwardly: the enemies are the ariṣaḍvarga, the six inner passions. Sandhyopāsanatatparam marks him as one who performs the three daily sandhyā worships, connecting the yogic path to its Vedic ritual roots — a theme the text will develop extensively in its discussion of karma and jñāna.
