बीजं शाखाफलानीव क्वातोऽर्थमनसी वद ।
ज्ञेयासंभवतो ज्ञप्तिरप्यनाख्यं पदं गता ॥ ५३ ॥

bījaṃ śākhāphalānīva kvāto'rthamanasī vada |
jñeyāsaṃbhavato jñaptirapyanākhyaṃ padaṃ gatā || 53 ||

Say how can you separate the objects from the mind, as you do the seed, branches and fruits from one another; the knowables are unknowable without their knowledge, and knowledge is no known category.
