Where it sits
The verse names who is outside the giving and, with tu (तु), who is inside. 159 says it is to be given.
Split: paraśiṣye (परशिष्ये) + khale (खले) + krūre (क्रूरे) + abhakte (अभक्ते) + gurupādayoḥ (गुरुपादयोः) + nirvikalpamatīnām (निर्विकल्पमतीनाम्) + tu (तु) + vīrāṇām (वीराणाम्) + unnatātmanām (उन्नतात्मनाम्)
