सचेतनं च पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च विचेतनाम् । प्राहुर्बुधा नराध्यक्ष पुंसश्चप्रकृतिः प्रिया
sacetanaṃ ca puruṣaṃ prakṛtiṃ ca vicetanām | prāhurbudhā narādhyakṣa puṃsaścaprakṛtiḥ priyā
賢者たちは、プルシャ(Puruṣa)は覚知あるもの、プラクリティ(Prakṛti)は覚知なきものだと説く。おお人々の王よ、またプラクリティは身を受けた衆生にとって愛着の対象であるとも言う。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced; Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative frame)
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: A teacher-sage addresses a royal listener, illustrating the contrast between luminous Puruṣa (witness) and veiled Prakṛti (guṇas), with subtle iconography of light vs. matter.
It teaches discrimination between consciousness (Puruṣa) and inert nature (Prakṛti), a foundation for overcoming bondage to delusion.
None in this verse; it is a doctrinal statement.
None; the focus is metaphysical distinction.
