atha saṃsṛtibandhamokṣayor vidyāvidye cakṣuṣī upasaṃhṛtya vijñāya—avidyālokāṇḍas tamodṛk | tamo hi śārīraprapañcam ābrahmasthāvarāntam anantākhilajāṇḍabhūtam | nikhilanigamoditasakāmakarmavyavahāro lokaḥ ||3–4||
Ahora bien, habiendo recogido los dos “ojos” —conocimiento e ignorancia— relativos al cautiverio en el saṃsāra y a la liberación, y habiendo discernido su naturaleza: el “huevo del mundo”, nacido de la avidyā, es una visión de tiniebla. Pues la tiniebla es, en verdad, la multiplicidad encarnada, la proliferación fenoménica, que se extiende desde Brahmā hasta lo inmóvil, constituida por infinitos “huevos cósmicos” que todo lo abarcan. El mundo es el ámbito de las acciones rituales y de los actos movidos por el deseo, proclamados por todos los Vedas.
Now, having withdrawn (i.e., gathered in) the two ‘eyes’—knowledge and ignorance—pertaining to bondage in saṃsāra and to liberation, and having discerned (their nature): the ‘egg of the world’ born of ignorance is a vision of darkness. For darkness indeed is the embodied manifold (the phenomenal proliferation), extending from Brahmā down to the immobile (plants, etc.), constituted of endless, all-encompassing cosmic eggs. The world is the sphere of activity of desire-motivated rites and actions taught by all the Vedas.
