Adhyāya 48: Brahmopadeśa on Prāṇāyāma, Sāttvika Vṛtti, and the Sattva–Kṣetrajña Question

Devanagari script

एतेनैवानुमानेन मन्यन्ते वै मनीषिण: । सत्त्वं च पुरुषश्चैव तत्र नास्ति विचारणा,मनीषी पुरुष इसी अनुमानसे उस सत्त्वस्वरूप आत्माका और परमात्माका मनन करते हैं। इसमें कोई विचारणीय बात नहीं है

Transliteration

etenaivānumānena manyante vai manīṣiṇaḥ | sattvaṃ ca puruṣaś caiva tatra nāsti vicāraṇā ||

Translation

Por esta misma inferencia, los sabios meditan sobre el Sí mismo como ser puro (sattva) y sobre la Persona Suprema. En este asunto, sostienen que no hay nada más que disputar ni rebatir: hay que asir la verdad y vivir conforme a ella.
