Aṣṭāvakra Gītā / Adhyāya 16
Adhyāya 16
Summary
Chapter 16 is Aṣṭāvakra (अष्टावक्र). Ease is a forgetting of all the projects, including the project of being a disciple. Even a great teacher is not enough if the hearer keeps a second person who must be saved. Eleven verses continue chapter 15's refusal of a further path.

अध्याय १६ मा अष्टावक्रको भनाइ प्रस्तुत छ। सहज भनेको सबै योजना बिर्सनु हो, शिष्य हुने योजनासमेत। सुन्नेले बचाउनुपर्ने दोस्रो व्यक्ति राखिरह्यो भने ठूलो गुरु पनि पुग्दैन। यी एघार श्लोकले अध्याय १५ को अर्को बाटोको अस्वीकारलाई निरन्तरता दिन्छन्।
