śṛṇvantv ajñātatattvāste jānan kasmāc chṛṇomy aham | manyantāṃ saṃśayāpannā na manye 'ham asaṃśayaḥ ||18||
Mögen jene hören, die das Wesen der Wahrheit nicht erkannt haben. Ich aber, der erkannt hat—warum sollte ich hören? Mögen die vom Zweifel Befallenen meinen; ich meine nicht—ich bin ohne Zweifel.
Let those who have not known the truth listen. Having known, why should I listen? Let those fallen into doubt think; I do not think—I am free from doubt.
