Shloka 62
तृष्णाक्षय-उपदेशः
Instruction on the Cessation of Craving
आनन्त्यं वदमानेन शक्तेनावर्जितात्मना । अविज्ञानहतप्रज्ञा हीनप्रज्ञास्तमोवृता:
ānantyaṁ vadamānena śaktenāvarjitātmanā | avijñānahataprajñā hīnaprajñās tamovṛtāḥ ||
カピラは言った。「汝――識別に堪能で、心が逸れぬ者――が（解脱の）無辺を語ったことにより、われらの胸に安らぎがもたらされた。われらは無明に打たれて智慧が損なわれ、洞察は乏しく、闇（タマス）に覆われた者だからである。」
कपिल उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse contrasts ignorance-bound cognition with liberating insight: hearing a competent teacher describe the boundless nature of mokṣa brings inner peace, while ordinary minds remain veiled by tamas and weakened by avidyā.
Kapila addresses his interlocutor, acknowledging the other’s skill in reasoning and steadiness of mind, and admits that ‘we’ are obscured by ignorance; the teaching on the infinity of liberation has calmed them.
