The Tattva Samasa, quick and smart, A list of truths for the Sankhya heart.

A tiny text, just twenty-two, Explaining what is real and true.

It swiftly names the primal things, The categories that being brings.

The mind, the ego, intellect's sway, The twenty-five on grand display.

No lengthy prose, no complex plea, Just items named for you to see.

A summary key, a perfect start, To grasp the Sankhya's ancient art.

Tattva Samasa Sankhya Sutra

तत्त्वसमाससूत्रवृत्तिः

Dedication

पञ्चविंशतितत्त्वेषु जन्मना ज्ञानमाप्तवान् ।

आदिसृष्टौ नमस्तस्मै कपिलाय महर्षये ॥ १ ॥

To him who knew the truths by birth,

Great Kapila of sacred worth;

In primal dawn he spoke wisely,

We bow to him respectfully. [1]

अथातस्तत्त्वसमासाख्यसाङ्ख्यसूत्राणि व्याख्यास्यामः ॥ २ ॥

Now we begin the thread clearly,

Of Sankhya truths declared concisely;

The tattvas shine sequentially,

To guide the soul progressively. [2]

इह कश्चिद्ब्राह्मणस्त्रिविधेन दुःखेनाभिभूतः साङ्ख्याचार्यं कपिलमहर्षिं शरणमुपागतः ।

A braahman grieved by pain severely,

Approached the sage most reverently;

He bowed with heart surrendered wholly,

And sought the path devotedly.

स्वकुलनामगोत्रस्वाध्यायं निवेद्याह ।

He spoke his name and clan sincerely,

Declared his texts and lineage clearly;

With folded hands he asked humbly,

To learn the truth eternally.

भगवन् किमिह परं किं याथातथ्यं किं कृत्वा कृतकृत्यः स्यामिति ।

“O Lord, what’s highest here truly?

What act fulfills one perfectly?

What leads to peace unshakably?

Please guide me now compassionately.”

कपिल उवाच — कथयिष्यामि ।

The sage replied with voice calmly,

“I’ll speak the truths sequentially;

The path of Sankhya flows purely,

And lifts the soul sublimely.”

अष्टौ प्रकृतयः ॥ १ ॥

Eight roots arise invisibly,

They shape the world continually. [3]

षोडश विकाराः ॥ २ ॥

Sixteen forms emerge subtly,

From nature’s womb spontaneously. [4]

पुरुषः ॥ ३ ॥

The Self remains unbound wholly,

It watches all unchangingly. [5]

त्रैगुण्यम् ॥ ४ ॥

Three traits arise instinctively,

Sattva, Rajas, Tamas equally. [6]

सञ्चरः ॥ ५ ॥

Creation flows expansively,

From cause to form progressively. [7]

प्रतिसञ्चरः ॥ ६ ॥

Return dissolves all visibly,

To rest in source eternally. [8]

अध्यात्मम् अधिभूतम् अधिदैवतं च ॥ ७ ॥

The self, the world, the gods jointly,

Are realms of truth cosmically. [9]

पञ्चाभिबुद्धयः ॥ ८ ॥

Five senses grasp the world outwardly,

In sound and touch and sight bodily. [10]

पञ्चकर्मयोनयः ॥ ९ ॥

Five acts arise maternally,

To shape the limbs functionally. [11]

पञ्चवायवः ॥ १० ॥

Five vital winds move rhythmically,

They stir the breath continually. [12]

पञ्चकर्मात्मानः ॥ ११ ॥

Five agents act obediently,

To serve the soul respectfully. [13]

पञ्चपर्वाऽविद्या ॥ १२ ॥

Five joints of ignorance subtly,

Bind the soul deceptively. [14]

अष्टाविंशतिधाऽशक्तिः ॥ १३ ॥

Twenty-eight powers rise diversely,

To shape the traits instinctively. [15]

नवधा तुष्टिः ॥ १४ ॥

Ninefold joy flows inwardly,

From truth perceived spiritually. [16]

अष्टधा सिद्धिः ॥ १५ ॥

Eightfold powers bloom mystically,

From yogic light sublimely. [17]

दशधा मूलिकार्थाः ॥ १६ ॥

Tenfold roots arise sweetly,

To heal the flesh medicinally. [18]

अनुग्रहसर्गः ॥ १७ ॥

Graceful birth flows lovingly,

From sattvic acts maternally. [19]

चतुर्दशविधो भूतसर्गः ॥ १८ ॥

Fourteen kinds of beings truly,

Arise from nature sequentially. [20]

त्रिविधो धातुसर्गः ॥ १९ ॥

Threefold humors stir bodily,

To shape the health accordingly. [21]

त्रिविधो बन्धः ॥ २० ॥

Threefold bonds arise subtly,

To hold the soul mistakenly. [22]

त्रिविधो मोक्षः ॥ २१ ॥

Threefold paths to freedom be,

Release, absorption, sovereignty. [23]

त्रिविधं प्रमाणम् ॥ २२ ॥

Threefold proof flows logically,

Perception, word, and certainty. [24]

त्रिविधं दुःखम् ॥ २३ ॥

Threefold pain flows bodily,

Mental, divine, and worldly. [25]

एतत् परम्परया याथातथ्यमेतत्

सम्यग् ज्ञात्वा कृतकृत्यः स्यान्न

पुनस्त्रिविधेन दुःखेनाभिभूयते ।

Who knows these truths completely,

Is freed from pain entirely.

इति तत्त्वसमासाख्यसाङ्ख्यसूत्राणि ॥

Thus ends the thread respectfully,

Of Sankhya truths declared concisely.

अथ का अष्टौ प्रकृतय इत्यत्रोच्यते ।

Now what are the eight roots, we ask sincerely,

Their nature shines through form invisibly.

अव्यक्तं बुद्धिरहङ्कारः पञ्च तन्मात्राणीत्येता अष्टौ प्रकृतयः ।

Unmanifest, buddhi, ego respectively,

And five tanmaatras rise collectively.

तत्राव्यक्तं तावदुच्यते यथा लोके व्यज्यन्ते घटपटकुड्यशयनकाद्या न तथा व्यजत इत्यव्यक्तम् ।

Unlike the pot or wall we see outwardly,

This root remains concealed entirely.

श्रोत्रादिभिरिन्द्रियैर्न गृह्यत इत्यर्थः ।

No sense can grasp it perceptibly,

It lies beyond reach of touch or eye clearly.

कस्मात् अनादिमध्यान्तत्वान्निरवयवत्वाच्च ॥

It has no start, no end, no parts bodily,

It stands alone, whole and eternally.

अशब्दमस्पर्शमरूपमव्ययं

तथा च नित्यं रसगन्धवर्जितम् ।

अनादिमध्यं महतः परं ध्रुवं

प्रधानमेतत् प्रवदन्ति सूरयः ॥

Soundless, touchless, formless utterly,

Beyond all taste and scent entirely;

No start, no end, no change to see,

The sages call it Pradhaana truly. [26]

सूक्ष्ममलिङ्गमचेतनमनादिनिधनं

तथाप्रसवधर्मि निरवयवमेकमेव हि

साधारणमेतदव्यक्तम् ।

Subtle, formless, inert completely,

Unborn, undying, it flows silently;

It bears all forms yet stands singly,

This root is shared most universally.

अव्यक्तस्यामी पर्यायशब्दा भवन्ति ।

It’s known by names that rise diversely,

Each pointing to its depth uniquely.

अव्यक्तं प्रधानं ब्रह्म परं ध्रुवं बहुधानकमक्षरं क्षेत्रं तमःप्रसूतमिति ।

Avyaktam, Pradhaana, Brahma supremely,

The field, the root, the changeless firmly;

The source of forms, the dark unseen,

The womb of all that’s ever been.

का बुद्धिरत्रोच्यते । अध्यवसायो बुद्धिः ।

Now what is buddhi? It is certainty,

The power to judge things clearly.

सोयमध्यवसायो गवादिषु द्रव्येषु यस्मात् प्रतिपत्तिः ।

It knows the cow, not horse mistakenly,

It grasps the truth unerringly.

एवमेतन्नान्यथा । गौरेवायं नाश्वः ।

स्थाणुरेवायं न पुरुषः ।

इत्येषा बुद्धिः ।

“This is a cow, not horse,” said firmly,

“This is a post, not man,” said rightly.

अस्यास्तु बुद्धेरष्टौ रूपाणि भवन्ति धर्मो ज्ञानं...
