Sankhya Karika Verse 11

Sanskrit Verse

त्रिगुणमविवेकि विषयः सामान्यमचेतनं प्रसवधर्मि । व्यक्तं तथा प्रधानं, तद्विपरीतस्तथा च पुमान् ॥ ११ ॥

Transliteration

triguṇam-aviveki viṣayaḥ sāmānyam-acetanaṃ prasava-dharmi | vyaktaṃ tathā pradhānaṃ tat-viparitaḥ tathā ca pumān ||

Translation

The Manifest is constituted by the three Gunas, is non-discriminative, objective, common, non- intel ligent, prolific. So is also the Pradhana. Purusa is the reverse of them both (in these respects), and yet is similar (to the Pradhana and also to the Manifest in those other respects mentioned in the preceding Karika.)
