द्वित्वैकत्वपरित्यागे शेषं यत्परिशिष्यते ।
शान्तं सदसतोर्मध्यं तदस्तीह परं पदम् ॥ १६ ॥

dvitvaikatvaparityāge śeṣaṃ yatpariśiṣyate |
śāntaṃ sadasatormadhyaṃ tadastīha paraṃ padam || 16 ||

Leaving aside the unity and duality, take that which remains, and know that state of tranquillity which is situated between the reality and unreality, to be the state of the transcendental Deity.
