Adhyaya 38 — Dattatreya on Non-Identification (Mamata) and the Path to Liberation
सोऽहं न दुःखी न सुखी यतोऽहं प्रकृतेः परः ।
यो भूताभिभवो भूतैः सुखदुःखात्मकॊ हि सः ॥
so 'haṃ na duḥkhī na sukhī yato 'haṃ prakṛteḥ paraḥ |
yo bhūtābhibhavo bhūtaiḥ sukhaduḥkhātmako hi saḥ ||
অতএব আমি না শোক করি, না আনন্দিত হই; কারণ আমি প্রকৃতির অতীত। যে জীব/অবস্থার দ্বারা অভিভূত হয়, সে-ই প্রকৃতপক্ষে সুখ-দুঃখময়।

Jnana-oriented instruction; ancillary to dharma teaching rather than a pancalakṣaṇa enumeration.
‘Beyond prakṛti’ signals a Sāṃkhya/Upaniṣadic register: puruṣa (witness) is untouched; sukha-duḥkha arise where identification with guṇas persists.
