The divine spirit whose course is marked by black and white stains, who is the supporter of the fire, who though free from sin is the accomplisher of tainted Karma, whom the wise man consider to be a great Rishi, is the fire named Kapila, the propounder of that system of (Yoga) called Sankhya.
शुक्लकृष्णगतिर्देवो यो बिभर्ति हुताशनम्। अकल्मषः कल्मषाणां कर्ता क्रोधाश्रितस्तु सः॥ कपिलं परमर्षि च यं प्राहुर्यतयः सदा। अग्निः स कपिलो नाम सांख्ययोगप्रवर्तकः॥
