Bodarüpa maklilai rupıdhi-bhir varjitam kimapi

“ That principle," which has the nature of knowledge and is free from all defects, only belongs to us : there is no other principle like it which is the cause of Nirvänta : such is the belief of the Monks."?..
आत्मबोध शुचि तीर्थमद्भुतं स्नानमत्र कुरुतोत्तम बुधाः। यन्नयात्यपर तीर्थकोटिभिः क्षालयत्यपि मलं तदंतरं ॥२८॥ Atmabôdhu suchi tirtha mad-bhutam snana matra
kuru tottamam budhih, Yanna yât yapara tirth koti bhih ksalsyat yapi
malam tadantaram. 28
* Self-knowledge is a marvellous river, () wise men, perform the best bath here; that internal dirt, which cannot be washed by millions of rivers, can be washed by it."
(12) Ekatva adhikâra by the same author, says: संयोगेन यदायातं मत्तस्तत्सकलं परं । तत्परित्यागयोगेन मुक्तोऽहमिति मे मतिः ॥ २७ ॥ Samyogena yada yậtam mattastat-sakalam param, Tat parityâga yôgena mukto hamiti me matih : 27
“ In connection of which I have been coming on, that whole is apart from me; by its relinquishing I am liberated-this is my view.".
