Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 4.60 The knowable and the knowledge
4.60
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
ज्ञेयं सर्वं प्रतीतं च ज्ञानं च मन उच्यते ।
ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं समं नष्टं नान्यः पन्था द्वितीयकः jñeyaṃ sarvaṃ pratītaṃ ca jñānaṃ ca mana ucyate |
jñānaṃ jñeyaṃ samaṃ naṣṭaṃ nānyaḥ panthā dvitīyakaḥ
The line
The knowable, and all that is recognized, and the knowledge, are called mind. When knowledge and knowable are destroyed together, the verse says there is no second path.
नेपालीमा
ज्ञेय, चिनेको सबै, र ज्ञानलाई मन भनिन्छ। ज्ञान र ज्ञेय सँगै नष्ट हुँदा श्लोकले दोस्रो बाटो छैन भन्छ।
Where it sits
The nānyaḥ panthā (नान्यः पन्था) is the verse's own. One path remains when the pair is gone.
Split: jñeyaṃ (ज्ञेयं) sarvaṃ (सर्वं) pratītaṃ (प्रतीतं) ca (च) jñānaṃ (ज्ञानं) ca (च) mana (मन) ucyate (उच्यते) / jñānaṃ (ज्ञानं) jñeyaṃ (ज्ञेयं) samaṃ (समं) naṣṭaṃ (नष्टं) nānyaḥ (नान्यः) panthā (पन्था) dvitīyakaḥ (द्वितीयकः)
