न नरेणावरेण प्रोक्त एष सुविज्ञेयो बहुधा चिन्त्यमानः । अनन्यप्रोक्ते गतिरत्र नास्ति अणीयान् ह्यतर्क्यमणुप्रमाणात् ॥ ८॥

na nareṇāvareṇa prokta eṣa suvijñeyo bahudhā cintyamānaḥ । ananyaprokte gatiratra nāsti aṇīyān hyatarkyamaṇupramāṇāt ॥ 8॥

eṣaḥ = the Self; [when] proktaḥ = spoken of; avarena nareṇa = by an inferior man, ie. by a person of worldly understanding; na hi suvjñeyaḥ = is not certainly liable to be adequately understood [for It is]; bahudhā, variously - such as "It exists", it does not exist", "It is the doer", It is not the doer"; cintyamānaḥ = deliberated on - by the disputants. [The Self] ananya-prokte = when taught by a teacher who sees clearly, who is Self-realised: atra = here, with regard to the Self; na asti = there does not remain; gatiḥ = cogitation [upon it for it is]; atarkyam = not subject to being argued about; [because it is]; aṇīyān = more subtle, aṇu- pramāṇāt = than an atom.
