6.37
अहं वेद्मि स मां वेत्ति न कर्तृकरणादिता । ज्ञानस्यैकक्षणे युक्ता तद्द्वित्वेन क्षणक्षयः ॥३७॥
ahaṃ vedmi sa māṃ vetti na kartṛkaraṇāditā | jñānasyaikakṣaṇe yuktā taddvitvena kṣaṇakṣayaḥ
— 'I know' ; — 'he knows me' ; — not ; — the (real) distinction of agent, instrument and the rest ; — of cognition ; — in a single moment ; — is fitting (the unity) ; — by its (alleged) duality ; — the collapse of the (single) moment

'I know,' 'he knows me' — (here) there is no (real) distinction of agent, instrument and the rest; the unity of cognition in a single moment is what is fitting; (whereas) by its (supposed) duality the (very) momentariness collapses (since two acts cannot fall in one moment).
