Pratyāhāra—Cosmic Withdrawal / Dissolution Sequence

Devanagari script

शुद्धत्वान्न तु दृश्यो वै द्रष्टृत्वात्समदर्शनः / आत्मप्रत्ययकारित्वादन्यूनं वाप्यहेतुकम्

Transliteration

śuddhatvānna tu dṛśyo vai draṣṭṛtvātsamadarśanaḥ / ātmapratyayakāritvādanyūnaṃ vāpyahetukam

Translation

Aus Reinheit ist Er kein Gegenstand des Sehens; als der Schauende-Zeuge schaut Er gleich. Weil Er die Gewissheit des Selbst bewirkt, ist Er weder geringer noch grundlos.
