22. When one is worn out by old age and afflicted by disease, and in the fourth remaining stage of life, one should abandon the forest dweller's stage (vāṇaprastha āśrama).

24. iha sarvadā sadyaskrān yajñān iṣṭīḥ ca eva ca
yajet sadā eva yājinām yajñāt ātmani ijyā nivartate
24. One should always perform here sadyaskrā sacrifices (yielding immediate results), as well as regular Vedic rituals (yajña) and special rites (iṣṭi).

28. A person who truly comprehends the self (ātman), being of excellent conduct and having eliminated all impurities, does not strive for gain either in this world or the next. Free from anger and delusion, and having risen above both attachment and hostility, such a man should remain like one completely unconcerned or indifferent.
