अव्यक्त–पुरुष–विवेकः (Discrimination of Avyakta/Prakṛti and Puruṣa) — Yājñavalkya’s Anvīkṣikī to Viśvāvasu
पश्येरन्नैकमतयो न सम्यक् तेषु दर्शनम् । ते व्यक्त प्रतिपद्यन्ते पुनः: पुनररिंदम,शत्रुदमन नरेश! जिनकी बुद्धि नानात्वका दर्शन करती है, उन्हें सम्यक्-ज्ञानकी प्राप्ति नहीं होती। ऐसे लोगोंको बारंबार शरीर धारण करना पड़ता है
paśyerann eka-matayo na samyak teṣu darśanam | te vyaktaṃ pratipadyante punaḥ punaḥ, arindama, śatrudamana nareśa ||
Vasiṣṭha said: “Those whose understanding is not one-pointed do not gain a clear and correct vision of reality. Such people, O subduer of foes, O king who tames enemies, repeatedly fall back into embodied existence again and again.”

Educational Q&A
A scattered intellect that clings to many conflicting viewpoints fails to attain samyak-darśana (right, clear insight). Without such clarity, one remains bound to saṃsāra and repeatedly takes birth.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing a king (addressed with honorific epithets like arindama and śatrudamana), warning that intellectual multiplicity without inner integration prevents true realization and leads to continued rebirth.
