Adhyaya 38 — Dattatreya on Non-Identification (Mamata) and the Path to Liberation
किंत्वत्र विषयाक्रान्ते स्थैर्यवत्त्वं न चेतसि ।
न चापि वेद्मि मुच्येयं कथं प्रकृतिबन्धनात् ॥
kintvatra viṣayākrānte sthairyavattvaṃ na cetasi |
na cāpi vedmi mucyeyaṃ kathaṃ prakṛtibandhanāt ||
কিন্তু ইয়াত, যেতিয়া মোৰ মন বিষয়বস্তুৱে আচ্ছন্ন কৰে, তেতিয়া তাত স্থিৰতা নাথাকে; আৰু প্ৰকৃতিৰ বন্ধনৰ পৰা মই কেনেকৈ মুক্ত হ’ম সেয়া নাজানো।
