चितश्चेत्योन्मुखत्वेन लाभः सैव च संसृतिः ।
निश्चेत्यायाः शुभो लाभो निर्वाणं वा तदेव हि ॥ १०८ ॥

citaścetyonmukhatvena lābhaḥ saiva ca saṃsṛtiḥ |
niścetyāyāḥ śubho lābho nirvāṇaṃ vā tadeva hi || 108 ||

The avidity of this intellectual after the knowledge of the intelligibles, brings it to the intelligence of the sensible world; but its thirst after the unintelligible one, is attended with the precious gain of its Kaivalya or oneness with the self same one.
