The Essence of the Tantra6.80

6.80

अत एव एकाशीति पदस्मरणसमये विविधधर्मानुप्रवेशमुखेन एक एव असौ परमेश्वरविषयो विकल्पः कालग्रासे न अविकल्पात्मा एव सम्पद्यते इति

Transliteration (IAST)

ata eva ekāśīti padasmaraṇasamaye vividhadharmānupraveśamukhena eka eva asau parameśvaraviṣayo vikalpaḥ kālagrāse na avikalpātmā eva sampadyate iti

— eighty-one (words/syllables) ; — at the time of recollecting the words ; — by way of the entry of diverse attributes ; — having the Supreme Lord as its object ; — the (single) conceptual cognition ; — when time is devoured ; — of the nature of the non-conceptual ; — becomes, is realized

For this very reason, at the time of recollecting the eighty-one words, by way of the entry of their diverse attributes, this is but a single conceptual cognition having the Supreme Lord as its object; and when time is devoured, does it not become precisely that whose nature is the non-conceptual?
