The knower of yoga, by yoga, joins the knower of the field (to what is) beyond them. For him there is no course and no station, in the manifest or the unmanifest, in any way; he is not existent, not non‑existent, not existent‑and‑non‑existent, nor is he established in anything at all. (BndP 2,13.143. Thus the thirteenth chapter, called 'The Recital of the Holy Lands', in the śrāddha section of the third Upodghāta‑pāda of the middle part of the glorious Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa spoken by Vāyu.) Bṛhaspati said: Next I shall declare the fruits of all gifts, and which things are pure in the śrāddha rite and which are to be avoided.
