मृषान्यो मृषान्यः परो मिश्रमेनं परः प्राकृतं चापरो बुद्धिमात्रम् । प्रपञ्चं मिमीते मुनीनां गणोऽयं तदेतत्त्वमेवेति न त्वां जहीमः ॥८॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- मृषान्यो मृषान्यः परो मिश्रमेनं
- One calls the world false; another false; another mixed;
- परः प्राकृतं चापरो बुद्धिमात्रम् ।
- another primal nature; another mind alone.
- प्रपञ्चं मिमीते मुनीनां गणोऽयं
- This host of sages measures the universe -
- तदेतत्त्वमेवेति न त्वां जहीमः
- yet all of it is you alone; we do not abandon you.
Sages dispute whether the world is real, unreal, or mind-born, yet every measure is her alone. Advaita does not need one metaphysical label when the Goddess is known as the ground of all views.
