Karika 63: Prakriti binds and frees itself

The words

Translation

Prakriti alone binds itself, only by means of the seven forms [the dispositions (bhāvas) of the Intellect: righteousness, unrighteousness, ignorance, detachment, attachment, power and powerlessness]. But that same prakriti also liberates itself, for the purpose of the soul [liberation], by means of one form [knowledge].
