prakṛteḥ sukumārataraṃ na kiñcid astīti me matir bhavati /
yā dṛṣṭāsmīti punar na darśanam upaiti puruṣasya

tasmān na badhyate nāpi mucyate nāpi saṃsarati kaścit /
saṃsarati badhyate mucyate ca nānāśrayā prakṛtiḥ

rūpaiḥ saptabhir evaṃ badhnāty ātmānam ātmanā prakṛtiḥ /
saiva ca puruṣasyārthaṃ prati vimocayaty ekarūpeṇa

evaṃ tattvābhyāsān nāsmi na me nāham ity apariśeṣam /
aviparyayād viśuddhaṃ kevalam utpadyate jñānam

tena nivṛttaprasavām arthavaśāt saptarūpavinivṛttām /
prakṛtiṃ paśyati puruṣaḥ prekṣakavad avasthitaḥ svasthaḥ
