Prashna • Chapter 6 • Shloka 1
अथ हैनं सुकेशा भारद्वाजः पप्रच्छ - - - भगवन् हिरण्यनाभः कौसल्यो राजपुत्रो मामुपेत्यैतं प्रश्नमपृच्छत - - षोडशकलं भारद्वाज पुरुषं वेत्थ।
तमहं कुमारम्ब्रुवं नाहमिमं वेद यध्यहमिममवेदिषं कथं ते नावक्ष्यमिति।
समूलो वा एष परिशुष्यति योऽनृतमभिवदति।
तस्मान्नार्हम्यनृतं वक्तुम्। स तूष्णीं रथमारुह्य प्रवव्राज। तं त्वा पृच्छामि क्वासौ पुरुष इति ॥
After this Bharadvaja Sukesha asked him:
O Lord!
Hiranyanabha, the prince of Kosala came to me and asked me this question -
'O Bharadvaja, do you know about 'Purusha' (consciousness) and 'His' sixteen arts?"
And I replied to that Kumar -
'I' do not know him (Purusha)
Reason, if I knew 'him', I would definitely tell you about 'him', but I cannot tell you untruth because the one who tells untruth is completely destroyed.
'He' silently got on the chariot and left me.
I am asking you about 'him' (Purusha), who is this 'man'?
