Shloka 115
Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
Devanagari script
अव्यक्तं यदि वा व्यक्त द्यीमथ चतुष्टयीम् । प्रकृति सर्वभूतानां पश्यन्त्यध्यात्मचिन्तका:
Translation
“无论说因是‘不显’（avyakta），或是‘显现’（vyakta），或二者并举，抑或以‘四聚’（catuṣṭayī）——梵（Brahman）、幻力（Māyā）、个我（Jīva）与无明（Avidyā）——为因；而内观自性之智者，则见唯有自然（prakṛti）才是一切众生之质料因。”
