अथ केयमविद्या ? न तावदनादिभावरूपत्वे सति ज्ञाननिवर्त्या सेति;
सादिशुक्त्याद्यवच्छिन्नचैतन्यावारकाज्ञानेऽव्याप्तेः; तस्यानादित्वाभावात् ।
अभावोपादानाज्ञाने च भावत्वाभावात्तत्राव्याप्तिः, अभावस्य भावोपादानकत्वे
असत्यस्यापि सत्योपादानकत्वं स्यात्, अज्ञानानुपादानकत्वे तस्य
ज्ञानान्निवृत्तिर्न स्यात् - इति । अत्र ब्रूमः,
रूप्योपादानाज्ञानमप्यनादिचैतन्याश्रितत्वादनाद्येव, उदीच्यं शुक्त्यादिकं तु
तदवच्छेदकमिति न तत्राव्याप्तिः ।
