Śreyas and Paramārtha: The Ribhu–Nidāgha Teaching on Non-Dual Self
Advaita
न मे क्षुधा भवेत्तॄप्तिः कस्मान्मां द्विज पृच्छति । वह्निना पार्थिवेनादौ दग्धे वै क्षुरापीश्वः ॥ ५२ ॥
na me kṣudhā bhavettṝptiḥ kasmānmāṃ dvija pṛcchati | vahninā pārthivenādau dagdhe vai kṣurāpīśvaḥ || 52 ||
于我而言，既无饥亦无饱——婆罗门二生者啊，你为何以此问我？在最初，当这属地之身被火焚尽时，主宰确然仍为如剃刀之锋般锐利的至尊，超越一切身相之境。
