Sanskrit Original
स एव मुक्तः संसाराद दुःखत्रयविवर्जितः। एवं ज्ञानं विना नास्ति ध्यानं ध्यातुर द्विजर्षभाः।।
sa eva muktaḥ saṃsārād duḥkhatrayavivarjitaḥ| evaṃ jñānaṃ vinā nāsti dhyānaṃ dhyātur dvijarṣabhāḥ||
Sūta said: There is distress and pain only when there is body. Hence, the learned shall eschew Avidyā (ignorance, illusion). Only if the yogin eschews Avidyā by means of Vidyā do anger, virtue, evil etc. perish, O brahmins. If they perish the (Ātman) is not united further with the physical body. He is liberated from mundance existence. He is devoid of the three types of miseries.[33] Thus, O leading brahmins, the meditator cannot meditate without perfect knowledge.
