Discussion-3. "Sruti's advice to such brahmana, ....."
Such a brahmana is being advised by the Sruti here to examine ruthlessly the various fields of results that they can gain, due to the ritualistic acts of piety and ceremony.
Mother Sruti, here is directing the attention of such an enquirer to consider whether he can ever gain the "unmade" through any known methods of "making".
The idea is that 'Moksham' is not and cannot be the result of any action performed; for, in that case, like a pot made by a pot-maker, 'Moksham' also will be a perishable state.
Next : Discussion-4. "knowing which everything else becomes known"......
