Adhyaya 38 — Dattatreya on Non-Identification (Mamata) and the Path to Liberation
कं वा पश्यामि राजेन्द्र ! प्रधानमिदमावयोः ।
यतः परो हि क्षेत्रज्ञः सङ्घातो हि गुणात्मकः ॥
kaṃ vā paśyāmi rājendra ! pradhānamidamāvayoḥ |
yataḥ paro hi kṣetrajñaḥ saṅghāto hi guṇātmakaḥ ||
मग हे राजेंद्र, मी कोणाला पाहत आहे? आपल्या बाबतीत हे तर केवळ प्रधान (प्रकृती) आहे; कारण क्षेत्रज्ञ त्यापलीकडे आहे, आणि संघात (देह-मनसमूह) गुणांनी बनलेला आहे।
