किं तज्ज्ञानमथो विद्या यया निस्तरति द्वयम् । प्रवृत्तिलक्षणो धर्मो निवृत्तिरिति चैव हि ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Shuka said What is that Knowledge? Is it that learning by which, when error is gone, the truth reveals itselt? Or, is it those duties consisting of acts to be done or achieved, by the help of which the object sought for, may be understood or attained? Or, is it those duties, called absention from acts by which an extinction of the Soul is to be sought? Do tell me what it is, so that by its help the two, viz., birth and death, may be avoided.
