The self (puruṣa) among the foremost of the Sāṃkhyas is proclaimed to be devoid of qualities (nirguṇa); / their departure at the destruction of the body is held to be like the extinguishing of a lamp. / The Lord, free from all, is considered the knower of the field (kṣetrajña) according to yogins; / endowed with supreme sovereignty, the yogins enter into Him. / But he who unites the self by means of those concentrations (dhāraṇās) along with prāṇāyāmas, / attains the supreme sacrifice. / The yogin endowed with non-violence and other virtues, devoid of envy, / who practices meditation, conquers death and rebirth.
