सत्यं केचित्प्रशंसंतितपः शौचं तथा परे । सांख्यं केचित्प्रशंसंति योगमन्ये प्रचक्षते
satyaṃ kecitpraśaṃsaṃtitapaḥ śaucaṃ tathā pare | sāṃkhyaṃ kecitpraśaṃsaṃti yogamanye pracakṣate
فمن الناس من يمدح الصدق، ومنهم من يعظّم التَّقشّف والطهارة. ومنهم من يثني على السانكْهْيا، وآخرون يعلنون اليوغا طريقًا أعلى.
