अत्र विवेकख्यातिस्ततः संप्रज्ञातसमाधिः पश्चादसंप्रज्ञा-
तस्ततो मुक्तिर्न तु विवेकख्यातौ। एतत् योगशास्त्रेण॥
एवं विद्यान्तरैरपि विरुद्धमुदाहार्यम्॥
(११) प्राप्ताः श्रियः सकलकामदुघास्ततः किम्
दत्तं पदं शिरसि विद्विषतां ततः किम्।
संतर्पिताः प्रणयिनो विभवैस्ततः किम्
कल्पं स्थितं तनुभृतां तनुभिस्ततः किम् ॥२७१॥
अत्र ततः किमिति न नवीकृतम्। तत्तु यथा
यदि दहत्यनलोत्र किमद्भुतं यदि च गौरवमद्रिषु किं ततः।
लवणमम्बु सदैव महोदधेः प्रकृतिरेव सतामविषादिता ॥२७२॥
The doctrine of the Science of Yoga being that—first
of all one obtains discriminative wisdom, then concrete
meditation, then abstract meditation and then Release;
and Release is not obtained immediately after discrimina-
tive wisdom. Hence what is here stated is opposed to the
Science of Yoga.
Similar examples of opposition to other Sciences may
be cited.
(11) [Example of ‘Monotony’]—
‘All-affording wealth has been attained;—what then?
The foot has been placed on the head of the enemy;—
what then? Friends have been fully supplied with riches;
—what then? The bodies of men have lasted for a whole
cycle;—what then?’
Here the frequent repetition of ‘what then’ is mono-
tonous. This ‘monotony’ is avoided in the following—
‘If fire burns,—what is the wonder? If mountains
are full of gravity,—what then? The water of the ocean
is ever salty. To great beings freedom from depression
comes naturally.’
