What is Knowledge? What is the object of knowledge? What is Unintelligent? What is Intelligent? Who is Ka? Who is endued with the principle of change? Who is not endued with the same What is he that devours the Sun and what is the Sun? What is Vidya and what is Avidya? What is Vedya and Avedya? What is Immobile and Mobile? What is without beginning, what is indestructible, and what is Destructible? These were the transcendental questions put to me by that foremost of Gandharvas.
ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं तथा ज्ञोऽज्ञः कस्तपा अतपास्तथा। सूर्यातिसूर्य इति च विद्याविद्ये तथैव च॥ वेद्यावेद्यं तथा राजन्नचलं चलमेव च। अपूर्वमक्षयं क्षय्यमेतत् प्रश्नमनुत्तमम्॥
