नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
Devanagari script
ज्ञानं तु प्रकृति प्राहुज्ञेय निष्ललमेव च । अज्ञश्ष ज्ञश्न पुरुषस्तस्मान्निष्कल उच्यते
Translation
«Словом “знание” (jñāna) обозначают Пракрити; а безчастный Атман (niṣkala) именуется “познаваемым” (jñeya). Так же “незнание” (ajñāna) есть Пракрити; а Пуруша, отличный от неё и безчастный, зовётся “познающим” (jñātṛ).»
