Dasa Shloki – Verse 10   «   »

न चैकं तदन्यद्द्वितीयं कुतः स्या
न्न वा केवलत्वं न चाकेवलत्वम्।
न शून्यं न चाशून्यमद्वैतकत्वा
त्कथं सर्ववेदान्तसिद्धं ब्रवीमि।।10।।
Na caikaṃ tadanyaddvitīyaṃ kutaḥ syā
Nna vā kevalatvaṃ na cākevalatvam.
Na śūnyaṃ na cāśūnyamadvaitakatvā
Tkathaṃ sarvavedāntasiddhaṃ bravīmi..10..
It is not even one and how can it be two,
Neither is it unique and nor not unique,
Neither is it a vacuum nor something different from it,
For it is the essence of non dual reality
So how can I tell about what is established by all philosophy?

Dasa Shloki – Commentary by S.N. Sastri

It is not one; how can there be a second different from it? It has neither absoluteness nor non-absoluteness. It is neither void nor non-void since it is devoid of duality. How can I describe that which is the essence of the entire Vedanta!
