साङ्ख्या निरीश्वरा केचित् केचिदीश्वरदेवताः । ये ते निरीश्वरास्तेऽमी नारायणपरायणाः ॥ विष्णोः प्रतिष्ठां कुर्वन्ति साङ्ख्यशासनसूरयः ।

This sect believes the self as उदासिन i.e. कूटस्थ and नित्य. The individual who has प्रकृतिपुरुष विवेकख्याति can be judged only by his behaviour in his daily life and not by one's only boasting that he is dcttifa or he has प्रकृतिपुरुषविवेकख्याति of the साङ्ख्य system.
