Adhyāya 15
Summary
Chapter 15 is Aṣṭāvakra (अष्टावक्र), twenty verses. A clear mind is already the thing done. Rules of conduct, meditation piled on meditation, and the wish to look liberated are what these verses set down. The last of them says to drop meditation itself. The words are the instruction. The page is not a method of dropping.

अध्याय १५ मा अष्टावक्रको भनाइ प्रस्तुत छ, यसमा बीस श्लोक छन्। स्वच्छ मन नै गरिसकिएको काम हो। आचरणका नियम, ध्यानमाथि ध्यान, र मुक्त देखिने इच्छा यी श्लोकहरूले तल राखिदिन्छन्। अन्तिम श्लोकले ध्यान नै छाड्न भन्छ। शब्दहरू नै उपदेश हुन्। यो पृष्ठ छाड्ने विधि होइन।
