Shri Purohit Swami

गुणसंख्यान (गुणोंके सम्बन्धसे प्रत्येक पदार्थके भिन्न-भिन्न भेदोंकी गणना करनेवाले) शास्त्रमें गुणोंके भेदसे ज्ञान और कर्म तथा कर्ता तीन-तीन प्रकारसे ही कहे जाते हैं, उनको भी तुम यथार्थरूपसे सुनो।

Swami Ramsukhdas

ज्ञान, कर्म और कर्ता भी गुणों के भेद से सांख्यशास्त्र (गुणसंख्याने) में त्रिविध ही कहे गये हैं; उनको भी तुम मुझ से यथावत् श्रवण करो।
