चितश्चेत्यमहंकारः सैव राघव कल्पना ।
तन्मात्रादि चिदेवातो द्वित्वैकत्वे क्व संस्थिते ॥ ४६ ॥

citaścetyamahaṃkāraḥ saiva rāghava kalpanā ,
tanmātrādi cidevāto dvitvaikatve kva saṃsthite 46

46. citaḥ cetyam ahaṅkāraḥ sā eva rāghava kalpanā
tanmātrā-ādi citiḥ eva ataḥ dvitva-ekatve kva saṃsthite

46. rāghava citaḥ cetyam ahaṅkāraḥ,
sā eva kalpanā.
ataḥ tanmātrā-ādi citiḥ eva.
dvitva-ekatve kva saṃsthite?

46. O Rāghava, the knowable object of consciousness (citi) is ego (ahaṅkāra), and that very ego is conceptualization (kalpanā). Therefore, the subtle elements (tanmātra) and all other phenomena are nothing but consciousness (citi) itself. In such a state, where can there be any distinction of duality or oneness?
