अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः

Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic

Devanagari script

राजर्षे! सांख्य, योग, पाउचरात्र, वेद और पाशुपत-शास्त्र--इन ज्ञानोंको तुम नाना प्रकारके मत समझो ।। सांख्यस्य वक्ता कपिल: परमर्षि: स उच्यते । हिरण्यगर्भो योगस्य वेत्ता नान्य: पुरातन:,सांख्यशास्त्रके वक्ता कपिल हैं। वे परम ऋषि कहलाते हैं। योगशास्त्रके पुरातन ज्ञाता हिरण्यगर्भ ब्रह्माजी ही हैं, दूसरा नहीं

Transliteration

rājarṣe! sāṅkhya-yoga-pāñcarātra-veda-pāśupata-śāstrāṇi—etāni jñānāni nānā-vidhāni matāni mā manyethāḥ. sāṅkhyasya vaktā kapilaḥ paramarṣiḥ sa ucyate. hiraṇyagarbho yogasya vettā nānyaḥ purātanaḥ.

Translation

Vaiśampāyana dijo: “Oh sabio de linaje real, no consideres que Sāṅkhya, Yoga, el Pāñcarātra, los Vedas y la enseñanza Pāśupata sean, en su esencia, ‘opiniones’ distintas entre sí. Kapila es proclamado el vidente supremo que expuso el Sāṅkhya; y Hiraṇyagarbha —Brahmā mismo— es el antiguo conocedor del Yoga, y no otro.”
