एवं त्यजामि संवेद्यं चेत्यं नाहं हि तत्किल ।
शेषो विकल्परहितो विशुद्धचिदहंस्थितः ॥ १७ ॥

evaṃ tyajāmi saṃvedyaṃ cetyaṃ nāhaṃ hi tatkila |
śeṣo vikalparahito viśuddhacidahaṃsthitaḥ || 17 ||

Thus I renounce the knowable (living soul), and do not acknowledge the intelligible intelligence as myself. It is at the end of all the immutable and pure Intellect, which remains to be owned as myself.
