अविद्येत्युच्यते लोके चिच्चेत्यमलमाश्रिता ।
चेत्यातीतात्मतामेति सर्वोपाधिविवर्जिता ॥ ५ ॥

avidyetyucyate loke ciccetyamalamāśritā |
cetyātītātmatāmeti sarvopādhivivarjitā || 5 ||

They call it ignorance avidya, when the intellect is vitiated by its intellection of the intelligibles or chetyas, but the intelligibles being left out, it comes to know the soul which is free from all attributes.
