Shloka 23
जनक–पराशर संवादः — वर्ण-गोत्र-धर्मविचारः
Janaka–Parāśara: Varṇa, Gotra, and Dharma Inquiry
Devanagari script
न सुखेन न दुःखेन कदाचिदपि वर्तते । सेयं भावात्मिका भावांस्त्रीनेतान् परिवर्तते
Translation
Nunca se halla, en verdad, ni en el placer ni en el dolor. Esta inteligencia, hecha de estados, se transforma siguiendo estos tres estados; cuando el tamas predomina y la cubre el engaño, no se une al placer ni al sufrimiento, sino que se hunde en el sueño, la pereza y la inercia. Así, la buddhi de naturaleza anímica sigue siempre esos tres estados.
