Chapter 9 - The Sacred Secret

This chapter of 34slokas, known asraja-vidyaa raja-guhya yoga,Supree and Supre the Supreme that lends itself readily for interpolations

In s13, it is stated that the realized le-mindedly remains devoted to the Supreme and in s14 it is averred that such ever remain united with Him in meditation But it is only in s22 that the protection of the Supreed in His service in true devotion is assured While s23 states that those orship other gods with faith, worship Him only, albeit defectively, s25 pictures varied outcoods, a contradiction of s3,ch12 And in s24, He is the Enjoyer and the Lord of all Sacrifice, an anatheression to facilitate s16-s21 and s23-s25 What is iven the seely incomplete exposition of the promised dharma in s2

Further, in s 30 and s 31, it is said that even a reformed sinner is dear and valuable to Him Then in s 32 it is stated that woh devotion, sounding as if they are all in an inferior league Leave aside the Lord's averment in many a context in this text that the Supres, it is specifically stated in s34 of ch10 that He sylorious in woround of interpolations, s32 surely is a case of trespass S33 of this chapter is but a jointing mediu in nature towards the virtuous Brahmans

S7, that contravenes s15-s16 of ch8 and echoes the interpolative s18-s19 of this, is an interpolation S34, which falls into a separate category, is seely an interpolation, for reasons explained in ‘All about Interpolations’
