[Advaita-l] vidyA and j�Ana

[Raghavendra Hebbalalu]

namassarvebhyaH,

For such a familiar quote, this was not at all easy to
look for. However, the results are here (after
consulting Samskrit-vidvAns and Google). 

This quote is found in the viShNu-purANa. The complete
shloka is as follows.

tatkarma yan na bandhāya sā vidyā
yā vimuktaye |
āyāsāyāparaṃ karma
vidyānyā śilpanaipuṇam ||
ViP_1,19.41 ||

You can find the full text of the VP at

Incidentally, VishNu purANa seems to be the favorite
purANa of shrI shankara going by the number of times
he refers to it.

dhanyavAdAH,
-rAghavendraH
