Shloka 48
अव्यक्त–पुरुष–विवेकः (Discrimination of Avyakta/Prakṛti and Puruṣa) — Yājñavalkya’s Anvīkṣikī to Viśvāvasu
पश्येरन्नैकमतयो न सम्यक् तेषु दर्शनम् । ते व्यक्त प्रतिपद्यन्ते पुनः: पुनररिंदम
paśyerann eka-matayo na samyak teṣu darśanam | te vyaktaṃ pratipadyante punaḥ punaḥ, arindama, śatrudamana nareśa ||
हे अरिंदम नरेश! ज्यांची बुद्धी एकाग्र नाही, जी नानात्वच पाहते, त्यांना सम्यक् दर्शन मिळत नाही. ते उघडपणे पुन्हा पुन्हा देहधारण करतात—वारंवार जन्म घेतात.

Educational Q&A
A scattered intellect that clings to many conflicting viewpoints fails to attain samyak-darśana (right, clear insight). Without such clarity, one remains bound to saṃsāra and repeatedly takes birth.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing a king (addressed with honorific epithets like arindama and śatrudamana), warning that intellectual multiplicity without inner integration prevents true realization and leads to continued rebirth.
