Sanatkumara Teaches Rudra the Sankhya Doctrine

Verse 1 (13.168.1)

इन्द्रियेभ्यो मनः पूर्वमहङ्कारस्ततः परम् । अहङ्कारात्परा बुद्धिर्बुद्धेः परतरं महत् ॥

indriyebhyo manaḥ pūrvamahaṅkārastataḥ param | ahaṅkārātparā buddhirbuddheḥ parataraṃ mahat

Mind comes before the senses, and beyond it is egoism; beyond egoism is intellect, and beyond intellect is the Great principle.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension); the CE has it only as Appendix I No. 11, lines 13,110.137d@011_0275-0276 (printed after 13.110.137d). The heading `सनत्कुमार उवाच (with a stray backtick) had slipped into the verse text; removed and made the speaker (Sanatkumara addresses Rudra/Shiva throughout, as the page summary says). The critical edition's Appendix I passage has one more line before this verse (13,110.137d@011_0274, 'sāṃkhyajñānaṃ pravakṣyāmi parisaṃkhyānidarśanam'), which Wikisource lacks; not added.

Verse 2 (13.168.2)

महतः परमव्यक्तमव्यक्तात्पुरुषः परः । एतावदेतत्सांख्यानां दर्शनं देवसत्तम ॥

mahataḥ paramavyaktamavyaktātpuruṣaḥ paraḥ | etāvadetatsāṃkhyānāṃ darśanaṃ devasattama

Beyond the Great is the Unmanifest, and beyond the Unmanifest is the Person. This much, O best of the gods, is the view of the Sankhyas.

Verse 3 (13.168.3)

अव्यक्तं बुद्ध्यहङ्कारौ महाभूतानि पञ्च च । मनस्तथा विशेषाश्च दश चैवेन्द्रियाणि च । एतास्तत्वचतुर्विंशन्महापुरुषसम्मिताः ॥

avyaktaṃ buddhyahaṅkārau mahābhūtāni pañca ca | manastathā viśeṣāśca daśa caivendriyāṇi ca | etāstatvacaturviṃśanmahāpuruṣasammitāḥ

The Unmanifest, intellect and egoism, the five great elements, the mind, the particulars, and the ten senses: these are the twenty-four principles, which are reckoned as measuring up to the Great Person.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension); the CE has it only as Appendix I No. 11, lines 13,110.137d@011_0279-0281 (printed after 13.110.137d). Wikisource reads एतास्तत्वचतुर्विंशन्महापुरुषसम्मिताः for CE eṣā tattvacaturviṃśan mahāpuruṣasaṃmitā (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 4 (13.168.4)

बुध्यमानेन देवेश चेतनेन महात्मना । संयोगमेतयोर्नित्यमाहुरव्यक्तपुंसयोः ॥

budhyamānena deveśa cetanena mahātmanā | saṃyogametayornityamāhuravyaktapuṃsayoḥ

O lord of the gods, they say that the Unmanifest and the Spirit are in everlasting union through the great-souled, conscious knower who is coming to know.

Corrected बुद्ध्यामानेन → बुध्यमानेन (misprint in Wikisource; 'बुद्ध्यामान' is not a word; CE budhyamānena).

Verse 5 (13.168.5)

एकत्वं च बहुत्वं च सर्गप्रलयकोटिशः । तमःसंज्ञितमेतद्धि प्रवदन्ति त्रिशूलधृक् ॥

ekatvaṃ ca bahutvaṃ ca sargapralayakoṭiśaḥ | tamaḥsaṃjñitametaddhi pravadanti triśūladhṛk

Oneness and plurality, with creations and dissolutions by the crore: this, O bearer of the trident, they call by the name of darkness.

समुत्पाट्य यथाव्यक्ताज्जीवा यान्ति पुनःपुनः । आदिरेष महानात्मा गुणानामिति नः प्रभो ॥

samutpāṭya yathāvyaktājjīvā yānti punaḥpunaḥ | ādireṣa mahānātmā guṇānāmiti naḥ prabho

Drawn forth, as it were, from the Unmanifest, living beings go forth again and again. This great Self, we hold, O Lord, is the beginning of the qualities.

Verse 7 (13.168.7)

गुणस्थत्वाद्गुणं चैनमाहुरव्यक्तलक्षणम् । एतेनाध्युषितो व्यक्तस्त्रिगुणं चेतयत्युत ॥

guṇasthatvādguṇaṃ cainamāhuravyaktalakṣaṇam | etenādhyuṣito vyaktastriguṇaṃ cetayatyuta

Because it abides in the qualities they also call it a quality, marked by unmanifestness. Dwelt in by this, the manifest becomes aware of the threefold quality.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension); the CE has it only as Appendix I No. 11, lines 13,110.137d@011_0288-0289 (printed after 13.110.137d).

Verse 8 (13.168.8)

अचेतनः प्रकृत्येषु न चान्यमनुबुध्यते । बुध्यमानो ह्यहंकारो नित्यं मानाप्रबोधनात् ॥

acetanaḥ prakṛtyeṣu na cānyamanubudhyate | budhyamāno hyahaṃkāro nityaṃ mānāprabodhanāt

Unconscious among the products of nature, it does not become aware of anything other than itself. Egoism, though ever seeming to know, does so only through conceit and not through true awakening.

vimalasya viśuddhasya nīrujasya mahātmanaḥ | vimalodāraśīlaḥ syādbudhyamānāprabuddhayoḥ

Of the stainless, wholly pure, faultless, great Self, the nature would be pure and noble toward the one who is coming to know and the one who is unawakened.

Corrected विमलस्व → विमलस्य (misprint in Wikisource; व misprinted for य; CE vimalasya). Corrected विमलोदरशीलः → विमलोदारशीलः (misprint in Wikisource; long ā dropped; CE vimalodāraśīlaḥ).

Verse 10 (13.168.10)

द्रष्टा भवत्यभोक्ता च सत्वमूर्तिश्च निर्गुणः । बुध्यमानाप्रबुद्धाभ्यामन्य एव तु निर्गुणः ॥

draṣṭā bhavatyabhoktā ca satvamūrtiśca nirguṇaḥ | budhyamānāprabuddhābhyāmanya eva tu nirguṇaḥ

He becomes a witness and not an enjoyer, embodied in sattva yet free of the qualities. Other than the one who knows and the one who is unawakened is the one who is truly free of the qualities.

उपेक्षकः शुचिस्ताभ्यामुभाभ्यामयुतस्तथा । बुध्यमानो न बुध्येत बुद्धमेवं सनातनम् ॥

upekṣakaḥ śucistābhyāmubhābhyāmayutastathā | budhyamāno na budhyeta buddhamevaṃ sanātanam

Indifferent, pure, and unjoined to both of those, he is the eternal Awakened One; the one who is coming to know does not know him.

स एव बुद्धेरव्यक्तस्वभावत्वादचेतनः । सोहमेव न मेऽन्योस्ति य एवमभिमन्यते ॥

sa eva buddheravyaktasvabhāvatvādacetanaḥ | sohameva na me'nyosti ya evamabhimanyate

Because the intellect is unmanifest by nature, that same one is unconscious. He who thinks thus says, "I am that very one; there is none other than me."

na manyate mamānyosti yena cetosmyacetanaḥ | evamevābhimanyeta budhyamānopyanātmavān

He does not think, "There is another than I, by whom I, though unconscious, am made conscious." Even while knowing, he thinks just so, being without a true self.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension); the CE has it only as Appendix I No. 11, lines 13,110.137d@011_0300-0301 (printed after 13.110.137d).

ahameva na me'nyosti na prabuddhavaśānugaḥ | avyaktastho guṇāneṣa nityamevābhimanyate

"I alone am; there is none other than me; I do not follow the will of the awakened." Standing in the Unmanifest, he ever takes the qualities to be his own.

tenādhiṣṭhitatatvajñairmahadbhirabhidhīyate | ahaṅkāreṇa saṃyuktastatastamabhimanyate

Therefore the great knowers of the principles say that he is presided over by it. Joined with egoism, he then takes it for himself.

kṣetraṃ praviśya durbuddhirbudhyamāno hyanātmavān | ahameva sṛjatyanyaddvitīyaṃ lokasārathiḥ

Having entered the field, the dull-witted one, though knowing, is without a true self. The "I" itself brings forth another, a second, the charioteer of the world.

सर्वभावैरहङ्कारैस्तृतीयं सर्गसंज्ञितम् । ततो भूतान्यहङ्कारमहङ्कारो मनोऽसृजत् ॥

sarvabhāvairahaṅkāraistṛtīyaṃ sargasaṃjñitam | tato bhūtānyahaṅkāramahaṅkāro mano'sṛjat

मनो वेद न चात्मानमहङ्कारं प्रजापतिः । न वेद वाप्यहङ्कारो बुद्धिं बुद्धिमतांवर ॥

mano veda na cātmānamahaṅkāraṃ prajāpatiḥ | na veda vāpyahaṅkāro buddhiṃ buddhimatāṃvara

evamete mahābhāga netare nayavādinaḥ | ahaṅkāreṇa saṃyuktaḥ srotasyabhimukhaḥ sadā

So it is with these, O greatly fortunate one, and not otherwise, say those who teach by method. Joined with egoism, he is ever turned toward the current.

punarātmā vijayate bahavo nirguṇāstathā | ajñānena samāyuktaḥ sovyaktena tamotmanā

Again the Self prevails, and there are many who are free of the qualities. Joined with ignorance, he stands with the Unmanifest, whose nature is darkness.

prabuddhau buddhavānetatsṛjamānamabuddhavān | guṇānpunaśca tāneva sotmanātmani nikṣipet

evameṣa vikārātmā budhyamāno mahābhuja | avyakto bhavate vyaktau satvaṃsatvaṃ tathā guṇau | vidyā ca bhavate'vidyā bhavettu grahasaṃjñitam

Thus this modified self, as it comes to know, O mighty-armed, becomes the Unmanifest in the manifest, sattva and sattva and the two qualities likewise. Knowledge becomes ignorance, and it would become what is called a seizure.
