63.b The Samkhya-Karika of Ishvara Krishna

Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law
Love Is The Law, Love Under Will
🕉
O Fateful Mahadeva!
I give to Thee the Rasa kala
to add to Thy mundamala
Grant to me Akama
for the grace of your Kevala

Didn't mean for the delay in these readings, as I was meaning to have more done by now - but work and life has to come first. Using each as an opportunity to learn more with the subject of the posts as a loose guideline to follow yet still grow and add more meaning I've managed to make the last few months a lot less bleak and mundane and this text in particular spoke to me on a number of levels regarding the samskaras and vasanas. These are necessary for their place and season, but as we know are merely one phase of a cyclical sequence, only to be updated and/or outmoded in another order or magnitude until ultimately resolved back into Purusa.

The earliest important commentary on his Kārikā was written by Gaudapada. Yuktidipika, whose medieval era manuscript editions were discovered and published about mid 20th-century, is among the most significant extant review and commentary on Samkhyakarika.
