तत्परं पुरुषख्यातेः गुणवैतृष्ण्यम् ॥१६॥ |
tatparaṁ puruṣa-khyāteḥ guṇa-vaitr̥ṣṇyam ॥16॥ |
| tat = that param = is higher, superior, supreme, transcendent purusha = pure consciousness, Self khyateh = through knowledge, vision, discernment guna = elements, prime qualities, constituents, attributes; (three gunas of sattvas, rajas, tamas) vaitrshnyam = state of freedom from desire or craving (for the gunas) |
That extreme non-attachment, giving up even the qualities, shows (the real nature of) the Purusa. |
