jāti deśa kāla vyavahitānāmapyānantaryaṃ smṛtisaṃskārayoḥ ekarūpatvāt ..9..

cittāntara dṛśye buddhibuddheḥ atiprasaṅgaḥ smṛtisaṅkaraśca ..21..

तदा विवेकनिम्नं कैवल्यप्राग्भारं चित्तम् ॥26॥
tadā vivekanimnaṃ kaivalyaprāgbhāraṃ cittam ..26..

Sutra 27
तच्छिद्रेषु प्रत्ययान्तराणि संस्कारेभ्यः ॥27॥
tacchidreṣu pratyayāntarāṇi saṃskārebhyaḥ ..27..
Any gaps in discriminating awareness allow distracting thoughts to emerge from the store of latent impressions.
Sutra 28
हानमेषां क्लेशवदुक्तम् ॥28॥
hānameṣāṃ kleśavaduktam ..28..
These distractions can be subdued, as the causes of suffering were, by tracing them back to their origin, or through meditative absorption.

प्रसङ्ख्यानेऽप्यकुसीदस्य सर्वथा विवेकख्यातेः धर्ममेघस्समाधिः ॥29॥
prasaṅkhyāne'pyakusīdasya sarvathā vivekakhyāteḥ dharmameghassamādhiḥ ..29..
One who regards even the most exalted states disinterestedly, discriminating continuously between pure awareness and the phenomenal world, enters the final stage of integration, in which nature is seen to be a cloud of irreducible experiential substances.

Once all the layers and imperfections concealing truth have been washed away, insight is boundless, with little left to know.
Sutra 32
ततः कृतार्थानां परिणामक्रमसमाप्तिर्गुणानाम् ॥32॥
tataḥ kṛtārthānāṃ pariṇāmakramasamāptirguṇānām ..32..
Then the seamless flow of reality, its transformations colored by the fundamental qualities, begins to break down, fulfilling the true mission of consciousness
Sutra 33
क्षणप्रतियोगी परिणामापरान्त निर्ग्राह्यः क्रमः ॥33॥
kṣaṇapratiyogī pariṇāmāparānta nirgrāhyaḥ kramaḥ ..33..
One can see that the flow is actually a series of discrete events, each corresponding to the merest instant of time, in which one form becomes another.
Sutra 34
पुरुषार्थशून्यानां गुणानाम्प्रतिप्रसवः कैवल्यं स्वरूपप्रतिष्ठा वा चितिशक्तिरिति ॥34॥
puruṣārthaśūnyānāṃ guṇānāmpratiprasavaḥ kaivalyaṃ svarūpapratiṣṭhā vā citiśaktiriti ..34..
Freedom is at hand when the fundamental qualities of nature, each of their transformations witnessed at the moment of its inception, are recognized as irrelevant to pure awareness; it stands alone, grounded in its very nature, the power of pure seeing.
