बोधावबुद्धं यद्वस्तु बोद्ध्यकर्केतेयते ।
नाबोधं बुध्यते बोधो वैरूप्यादिनान्यता ॥ १२ ॥

bodhāvabuddhaṃ yadvastu boddhyakarketeyate |
nābodhaṃ budhyate bodho vairūpyādinānyatā || 12 ||

Whatever is known by the understanding, is said to be our knowledge;but the understanding has no knowledge of the unknowable, nor want of understanding can have any knowledge, owing to their opposite natures. (Because understanding and knowledge are of the same nature, but understanding and unknowable are contraries, and want of understanding and the knowable are sub-contraries.
