12.328.1
यदप्युक्तं कति तत्वानि भवन्ति तत्वमेतानि ।
यमानुपूर्व्यशः प्रोक्तान्येवमाह ॥ १२.३२८.१ ॥
As has been said: how many are the principles, and these are the principles declared in due order—thus he spoke.
12.328.2
तत्वान्यथोक्तानि। तथाविद्यो निबुद्ध्यते ।
न स पापेन लिप्येत निर्मुक्तः सर्वसंकरात् ॥ १२.३२८.२ ॥
One who understands the principles as they have been declared is not stained by sin; he is freed from all confusion.
12.328.3
यदप्युक्तं इहाद्यं मध्यमं च तत्वानामित्यत्र ब्रूमः ॥ १२.३२८.३ ॥
What was said here about the first and middle of the principles—we speak of it now.
12.328.4
एवमाद्यं मध्यमं चोक्तं बुद्ध्यादीनि त्रयोविंशतितत्वानि विशेषपर्यवसानानि ज्ञातव्यानि भवन्तीत्येव मामकेनेत्यत्रोच्यते ॥ १२.३२८.४ ॥
Thus the first and middle have been declared: the twenty-three principles beginning with intellect, ending in the specific elements, are to be known—so it is said here by me.
12.328.5
तदेव तद्यदा दत्तब्राह्मणक्षत्रियवैश्यशूद्रचण्डालपुल्कसादिरेतानि ज्ञातव्यानि बुद्ध्यादीनि विशेषपर्यवसानानि मन्तव्यानि प्रत्येतव्याभ्युक्तानि एतदाद्यं मध्यमं च। एतस्मात्तत्वानामुत्पत्तिर्भवति अत्र प्रलीयन्ते। केचिदाहुराचार्याः ॥ १२.३२८.५ ॥
That indeed is that: the given Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, Chandala, Pulkasa and others—these principles beginning with intellect and ending in the specific are to be known, to be considered, to be trusted; this is the first and middle. From these the principles arise, and here they dissolve. Some teachers say so.
12.328.6
अहमित्येतदात्मकं सशीरसङ्घातं त्रिषु लोकेषु व्यक्तमव्यक्ताधिष्ठितमेतद्देवदत्तसंज्ञकम् ॥ १२.३२८.६ ॥
'I' is this very thing: this aggregate together with its body, manifest in the three worlds, resting upon the unmanifest, and called by the name Devadatta.
12.328.7
योगदशमपुरुषदर्शनानां तु पञ्चविंशतितत्वानां प्रतिबुध्यमानयोर्व्यतिरिक्तं शुचिव्यभ्रमित्याहुराचार्याः। एवमाह ॥ १२.३२८.७ ॥
For those who through yoga see the tenth, the Puruṣa, the teachers say that it is separate from the twenty-five principles and from the two that are being awakened — pure, like a cloudless sky. Thus he spoke.
12.328.8
चतुर्विशतितत्वज्ञस्त्वव्यक्ते प्रतितिष्ठति ।
पञ्चविंशतितत्वज्ञोऽप्यव्यक्तमधितिष्ठति ॥ १२.३२८.८ ॥
He who knows the twenty-four principles stands firm in the unmanifest; he who knows the twenty-five principles also rests upon the unmanifest.
