असंकल्पो ह्यविद्याया निग्रहः कथितो बुधैः ।
यथा गगनपद्मिन्याः स भाति सुकरः स्वयम् ॥ ४१ ॥

asaṃkalpo hyavidyāyā nigrahaḥ kathito budhaiḥ ,
yathā gaganapadminyāḥ sa bhāti sukaraḥ svayam 41

41. asaṅkalpaḥ hi avidyāyāḥ nigrahaḥ kathitaḥ budhaiḥ
| yathā gaganapadminyāḥ sa bhāti sukaraḥ svayam ||

41. hi,
avidyāyāḥ nigrahaḥ asaṅkalpaḥ budhaiḥ kathitaḥ.
yathā gaganapadminyāḥ [nigrahaḥ] sukaraḥ bhāti,
sa [tathā] svayam [sukaraḥ] bhāti.

41. Indeed, non-conceptualization (asaṅkalpa) is declared by the wise (budhaiḥ) to be the restraint (nigraha) of ignorance (avidyā). Just as the 'control' of a sky-lotus (gaganapadminī) is easily achieved, so too does this [restraint of ignorance] appear easy by itself.
