Adhyaya 75: Nishkala–Sakala Shiva, Twofold Linga, and the Supremacy of Dhyana-Yajna
Devanagari script
यज्ज्ञानं निर्मलं शुद्धं निर्विकल्पं निराश्रयम् गुरुप्रकाशकं ज्ञानम् इत्यन्ये मुनयो द्विजाः
Transliteration
yajjñānaṃ nirmalaṃ śuddhaṃ nirvikalpaṃ nirāśrayam guruprakāśakaṃ jñānam ityanye munayo dvijāḥ
Translation
Ang kaalamang walang dungis at dalisay, walang pagbuo-buo ng isip at hindi umaasa sa panlabas na sandigan—ang kaalamang nagpapaliwanag sa Guru (bilang tagapaghayag ng Pati, si Śiva)—ganyan inilalarawan ng ibang mga pantas at mga “dalawang ulit isinilang” ang tunay na kaalaman.
