Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 10

उक्तसाधनयुक्तेन विचारः पुरुषेण हि ।कर्तव्यो ज्ञानसिद्ध्यर्थमात्मनः शुभमिच्छता ॥ १० ॥

In plain words

If you have the means just described, and you want what is genuinely good for yourself, then inquiry is what you must take up — for knowledge to actually arise. That is the work.

Close to the Sanskrit

By the person furnished with the means already stated, inquiry indeed is to be undertaken, for the sake of the attainment of knowledge, by one desiring his own good.
