Chapter-13 Prakṛti-Puruṣa-vivek Yogaḥ

anye tvevam ajānantaḥ śrutvānyebhya upāsate | te’pi cātitarantyeva mṛtyuṃ śruti parāyaṇāḥ || 26 || 26. But some, who do not know these [methods], having heard [the teachings] from others, meditate accordingly — these too, being devoted to what they hear, pass beyond death.
