vikalpaṁ juhuyāc cittau

vikalpaṁ juhuyāc cittau

tāṁ manasy artha-vibhrame

mano vaikārike hutvā

taṁ māyāyāṁ juhoty anu

One should offer various actions into consciousness, and offer consciousness into the mind, the root of illusion. After offering the mind into ahaṅkāra, one should offer ahaṅkāra into prakṛti.

Two verses describe a process for remaining in this condition to be used by yogīs. Vikalpam means “various actions.” They should be offered into the functions of the mind (citta), since these functions are a manifestation of the mind. The functions of the mind should be offered into the mind in which there is coming and going of various thoughts. Vaikārike means “into the false ego.” False ego is offered into mahat-tattva and mahat-tattva is offered into prakṛti. Mahat-tattva should be added to the sequence.

|| 7.13.44 ||

ātmānubhūtau tāṁ māyāṁ

juhuyāt satya-dṛṅ muniḥ

tato nirīho viramet

svānubhūty-ātmani sthitaḥ

A sage without desires who sees the truth should offer prakṛti into Brahman. Situated in Brahman he should become completely detached from material life.

|| 7.13.45 ||

svātma-vṛttaṁ mayetthaṁ te

suguptam api varṇitam

vyapetaṁ loka-śāstrābhyāṁ

bhavān hi bhagavat-paraḥ

I have thus described to you very secret knowledge of the ātmā, not approved by common people and scriptures. But you are a grate devotee of the Supreme Lord, and do not need it.

This knowledge is devoid of people’s and scripture’s approval, from the commoner’s point of view, though actually it is not so. However, because (hi) you are the great devotee of the Lord, this knowledge is not necessary for you.
