Verse 3534

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

यच्चात्मन्येव विज्ञानं ध्यानाभ्यासप्रवर्त्तितम् ।
तस्याप्यप्रतिघातित्वं तेषां पूर्वं प्रसाधितम् ॥ ३५३४ ॥

yaccātmanyeva vijñānaṃ dhyānābhyāsapravarttitam |
tasyāpyapratighātitvaṃ teṣāṃ pūrvaṃ prasādhitam || 3534 ||

As regards the knowledge of self, brought about by the practice of meditation,—this also has been already proved to be ‘untrammelled’ in the case of those persons.—(3534)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been argued under Text 3205, that—“The knowledge spoken of may be that of his own self”.

But even so, as such knowledge is possible for the Lord Himself, what has been urged is nothing undesirable for us.—This is what is pointed out in the following—[see verse 3534 above]

‘This also’—i.e. the knowledge of self.

‘Tesām’—of the revered Buddhas.

‘Already’—Under Text 3434.—(3534)
