6.46
प्रकाशमप्रकाशं वा ज्ञानं तस्य प्रकाशते । विद्यारूपादनाशित्वं नहि तत्त्वं विनश्वरम् ॥४६॥
prakāśamaprakāśaṃ vā jñānaṃ tasya prakāśate | vidyārūpādanāśitvaṃ nahi tattvaṃ vinaśvaram
— luminous ; — or non-luminous ; — cognition ; — of it ; — shines forth ; — because of its being of the nature of knowledge ; — indestructibility ; — for not ; — the (conscious) reality ; — perishable

Whether (it grasp something) luminous or non-luminous, the cognition shines forth of itself; (and) because it is of the nature of knowledge (vidyā), (there belongs to it) indestructibility — for the (conscious) reality is not perishable.
