।।श्रीः।।

तपोभिः क्षीणपापानां शान्तानां वीतरागिणाम्।

1. I am composing the ATMA-BODHA, this treatise of the Knowledge of the Self, for those who have purified themselves by austerities and are peaceful in heart and calm, who are free from cravings and are desirous of liberation.
बोधोऽन्यसाधनेभ्यो हि साक्षान्मोक्षैकसाधनम्।
पाकस्य वह्निवज्ज्ञानं विना मोक्षो न सिध्यति।।2।।
Bodho’nyasādhanebhyo hi sākṣānmokṣaikasādhanam.
Pākasya vahnivajjñānaṃ vinā mokṣo na sidhyati..2..
2. Just as the fire is the direct cause for cooking, so without Knowledge no emancipation can be had. Compared with all other forms of discipline Knowledge of the Self is the one direct means for liberation.
