I think this part of the story does a good job of showing the corruptness of the clergy. As it shows how they were not afraid of crossing lines in order to protect themselves and that they would make any decisions necessary in order to make it out alive. This story deals with a lot of cheating, evil deeds, and conniving which further pushes the idea of a corrupt group of religious individuals.

This section, however, shows how Medea is not at the fault for this action, and that Jason should be reprimanded for the actions that he has taken against her and her family. In the Britannica article 'Medea', the author discusses how this tragedy ultimately shows Medea's passion and how she justified her actions due to the wrongdoings that were performed against her.

This chapter discusses the need of finding peace. With the use of words such as bliss, comfort, and peace, Krishna talks about the value of working toward and achieving such peace. With the practice of meditational performances this achievement can be made. Thus, in this line Krishna discusses the 'happy severance' of Yoga and how it is beneficial to the soul. He refers to the end goal of this as a 'Yogin', which from further research from a specific article, I discovered that this term is used to describe someone high achieved in their spirituality and an avid practitioner of the method.
