पुरुषापुरुषस्य विनष्टमिति वनितावनितस्य विनष्टमिति। यदि चैकनिरन्तरसर्वशिवमविनोदविनोदमतिश्च कथम् ॥१६॥
The Self is the annihilation of the masculine and the nonmasculine. It is the annihilation of the feminine and the nonfeminine. If there is only one indivisible, all-comprehensive absolute how can there be consciousness of joy and lack of joy?
