True knowledge is that understanding which is without (objective) knowledge,

devoid of non-knowledge. What else is there to know?

 

27b

 

ar^ivar^i yamaiyu mar^r^a var^ivE

yar^ivagu muNmaiyI dun*dIpar^a

var^ivadar^ konr^ilai yun*dIpar^a

 

The Awareness without (the sense of duality of) knowledge and ignorance is

true Knowledge. This is the Truth. There is nothing to know (in that

Realized state).

If there is the vision of the Self, by enquiring "what is one's true form?",

there is Self-fulfilled consciousness-bliss, which is without beginning and

end.

 

28b

 

tanAdiyal Yadenat tAnr^eri kir^pin

nanAdi yanantasat tun*dIpar^a

vakanda cidanan*da mun*dIpar^a

 

When one knows what one's original nature is, then (there is) beginningless,

endless Being; It is all-pervading (unbroken) Awareness-Bliss.
