IAST Transliteration

tasmād doṣavināśārtham upāyaṃ kathayāmi te | yogahīnaṃ kathaṃ jñānaṃ mokṣadaṃ bhavati dhruvam || yogo hi jñānahīnas tu na kṣamo mokṣakarmaṇi | tasmāj jñānaṃ ca yogaṃ ca mumukṣur dṛḍham abhyaset ||

Translation

ฉะนั้น เพื่อทำลายโทษทั้งหลาย เราจักบอกวิธีแก่ท่าน ความรู้ที่ปราศจากโยคะจะเป็นผู้ให้โมกษะได้อย่างแน่นอนอย่างไร? และโยคะเอง หากปราศจากความรู้ ก็ไม่อาจทำกิจแห่งความหลุดพ้นได้ ดังนั้นผู้ใฝ่โมกษะพึงปฏิบัติทั้งญาณและโยคะอย่างมั่นคง

Academic Translation

Therefore, for the destruction of faults I tell you the means. How can knowledge, devoid of yoga, certainly become a giver of liberation? For yoga, indeed, when devoid of knowledge, is not capable in the work of liberation. Therefore the seeker of liberation should firmly practice both knowledge and yoga.

Verse Context

• Jñāna–Yoga integration for Moksha (sādhana-samuccaya as presented in this text)
• Mahavakya: Supportive: yoga disciplines steady the mind so mahāvākya-teaching can be assimilated (nididhyāsana); knowledge provides the non-dual vision that prevents yoga from remaining merely psychophysical.
• Krishna Yajurveda
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
