Verse 4

¹Bhagavan said: Now I shall set out for you the enumeration that those before us settled, knowing which a man drops at once the delusion of division. ²There was knowing, and there was the thing known, one only and undivided, at the beginning, in the Krta age and in the time that is no age, when men were skilled in telling apart. ³That vast one, alone and with no division in it, the truth beyond the reach of speech and mind, became two, in the shape of maya and of the one who tastes its fruit. ⁴Of those two the one is the thing known: that is Nature, which holds both in itself. The other state is knowing, and that is called the Person.
