Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga

Wisdom assures definite results. For him (the wise one release from consequential Karmas), verily, is the only delay, For him there is definite assurance of luminous path, thus scriptures having declared. For him (the wise one) there is no expectation of being in कायाव्यूह being in several bodies at the one and the same time. Even as cotton burns, even like water not touching the lotus leaf. Even as fire of wisdom destroying the effect of all actions, on account of such statements. (If it is said that some wise men take many lives for destruction of) accumulated actions, even then there is no contradiction. However, there is no evidence to such statement or any scriptural authority. Those who accept the views of Akshapada-Kaanada-Sankhya-Yoga-Pashupatas, opposed to the Vedas are, verily, men of little intelligence, hence they are rejected. The invocation of the devotees of Shiva should be treated as the invocation of the Supreme Lord himself. Not that these views are untruth. But these other texts cannot be accepted as evidence. Therefore it is said: - I will create such Illusion by which people will be deluded. And you, O Rudra, the great one, arrange to create sciences which will create such delusion. Propagate those principles which do not in truth ever exist, 0 The Powerful One. Make yourself known extensively and arrange to conceal Me, thus declared in Varaha Puraana. Unacceptable and confusing teachings were taught by Rudra as encouraged by Sri Vishnu. Influenced by these teachings, Dadhichi and other seers created sciences and Puraanas in course of time. The four Vedas, Brahmanas, Panchraatra, Mahabharata and also Mula Ramayana are declared as Vaishnava texts eulogizing Sri Vishnu. Similarly Bhagavat Puraana eulogizes Sri Vishnu. Therefore, the Shaiva Purina‟s should be interpreted without contradicting (the above texts), thus, in Narada Puraana.
