इतः शास्त्रमितो वेदा इतो द्वयविवर्जिता ॥ २८ ॥

itastama itasteja itaḥ khamita urvarā |
itaḥ śāstramito vedā ito dvayavivarjitā || 28 ||

Here there is light, and there is darkness on the other side, and this is empty space and that is the solid ground; these are the sastras and these are the Vedas, are distinctions unknown to the wise.
