Unmanifest

Mbh.6.36.1721	SECTION XXXVI Bhagavad Gita Chapter XII Arjuna said, Of those worshippers who, constantly devoted, adore thee, and those who meditate on thee as the Immutable and Unmanifest, who are best acquainted with devotion'
Mbh.6.36.1723	They, however, who worship the Immutable, the Unmanifest, the All-pervading, the Inconceivable, the Indifferent, the Immutable, the Eternal, who, restraining the entire group of the senses, are equal-minded in respect of all around and are engaged in the good of all creatures, also attain to me.
Mbh.6.36.1724	The trouble is the greater for those whose minds are fixed on the Unmanifest; for the path to the Unmanifest is hard to find by those that are embodied.
Mbh.6.65.3596	O thou of yellow robes, O Lord of the cardinal and the subsidiary points of the compass, O thou that hast the Universe for thy abode, O thou that art Infinite, O thou that hast no decay, O thou that art the Manifest, O thou that art the Unmanifest, O thou that art the immeasurable Space, O thou that hast all thy senses under control, O thou that always achievest what is good, O thou that art immeasurable, O thou that alone knowest thy own nature, victory to Thee that art deep, O thou that art the giver of all wishes, O thou that art without end, O thou that art known as Brahma, O thou that art Eternal, O thou that art the Creator of all creatures, O thou that art ever successful, O thou whose acts always display wisdom, O thou that art conversant with morality, O thou that givest victory, O thou of mysterious Self, O thou that art the Soul of all Yoga, O thou that art the Cause of everything that hath sprung into existence, O thou that art the knowledge of the selves of all beings, O Lord of the worlds, victory to thee that art the Creator of all beings.
Mbh.6.66.3637	He is without decay, Unmanifest, and Eternal.
Mbh.12.181.10926	He is said to be Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.188.11294	All, however, that is Unmanifest, that is beyond the ken of the senses, that can be ascertained only by the subtile senses, should be sought to be known
Mbh.12.203.12333	From the Unmanifest hath sprung the Soul; from the Soul hath sprung the Understanding; from the Understanding hath sprung the Mind.
Mbh.12.204.12383	There is no indication that is fit enough for yielding a knowledge of what is Unmanifest Brahma.
Mbh.12.209.12676	Persons conversant with the Vedas know Him as All-pervading, Eternal, Omnipresent, the Creator and the Destroyer, the Unmanifest, Brahma, Immutable.
Mbh.12.209.12686	O best of men, Kesava, that foremost of all beings, is said to be that which is Indestructible, that which is Unmanifest, that which is Immortal, Brahma, and Immutable.
Mbh.12.209.12707	From the Unmanifest flows the Understanding determined by acts.
Mbh.12.209.12727	Existence springs from the Unmanifest of Prakriti which, every intelligent person should know, rests in That which is the Soul of all existent beings.
Mbh.12.210.12771	The Unmanifest, viz, the Understanding with the desires, is the nave of that wheel.
Mbh.12.216.13037	SECTION CCXVII Bhishma said, He cannot be said to know Brahma who does not know the four topics viz, dreams, dreamless slumber, Brahma as indicated by attributes, and Brahma as transcending all attributes, as also what is Manifest viz, the body, and what is Unmanifest the chit-soul, which the great Rishi Narayana has described as Tattwam
Mbh.12.216.13047	One desirous of accomplishing this, should know both the Unmanifest and Purusha of which I shall speak presently.
Mbh.12.216.13048	That, again, which is different from both the Unmanifest and Purusha, and which transcends them both, and which is distinguished from all beings, should be particularly viewed by one possessed of intelligence
Mbh.12.216.13096	The yogin who has transcended the necessity of depending on the body, who has cast off all attachments, and whose mind is devoted to yoga abstraction, should be known as another instance of Infinity, as the Supreme Divinity, or as that which it Unmanifest
Mbh.12.217.13129	Known as already said by the name of Panchasikha, he had approached one day a large concourse of Rishis following the Sankhya doctrines and enquired of them about the highest object of human acquisition, viz, the Unmanifest or that upon which the five Purushas or sheaths already named rest
Mbh.12.232.14450	That is Unmanifest and Supreme Brahma.
Mbh.12.232.14454	Even thus doth the Unmanifest Brahma repeatedly undergo the processes of Elaboration and Withdrawal ie, Creation and Destruction, and even thus Brahman's Day and Night each consist of a thousand yugas
Mbh.12.235.14570	After this he gradually acquires mastery over the Unmanifest
Mbh.12.235.14592	In consequence of this, the Manifest becomes merged into the Unmanifest or Supreme Soul from which the world emanates and becomes what is called Manifest
Mbh.12.235.14593	Listen now to me in detail as I expound the science of the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.235.14598	That which is not possessed of these attributes is said to be Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.235.14601	This soul is called Manifest, and it is born of the Unmanifest Supreme Soul.
Mbh.12.238.14752	Unmanifest and supreme, it dwells in all mortal bodies.
Mbh.12.240.14849	Through knowledge, however, one becomes transformed into that which is Eternal, Unmanifest, and Immutable.
Mbh.12.240.14855	whither is Brahma which is Supreme, Unmanifest, immutable, ever-existent, imperceptible, above the reach of pain, immortal, and transcending destruction; whither all become freed from the influence of all pairs of opposites Like pleasure and pain, etc,
Mbh.12.245.15122	Superior to Mahat is the Unmanifest or Prakriti.
Mbh.12.245.15123	Superior to the Unmanifest is Brahma.
Mbh.12.249.15308	Taking its rise from the Unmanifest, rapid is its current, and incapable of being crossed by persons of uncleansed souls.
Mbh.12.250.15370	Like the Sun dispelling darkness, felicity dispels the sorrows of that Yogin who transcends both the gross and the subtile elements, as also Mahat and the Unmanifest
Mbh.12.252.15415	Having comprehended the seven subtile entities viz, the senses, the objects of the mind, Mind, Understanding, Mahat, Unmanifest or Prakriti, and Purusha, having comprehended also the Supreme cause of the universe with the six attributes viz, omniscience, contentment, unlimited comprehension, independence, eternal wakefulness, and omnipotence, and lastly having understood that the universe is only a modification of Avidya endued with the three qualities, one succeeds in beholding guided by the scriptures, high Brahma
Mbh.12.269.16591	Then again the highest contentment follows and rests upon Emancipation which is absolute, which exists as the soul of all mortal and immortal things, which is well-known as such universal soul, which is the highest object of knowledge as being identical with all mobile and immobile things, which is full, which is perfect felicity, which is without duality, which is the foremost of all things, which is Brahma, which is Unmanifest and the cause also, whence the Unmanifest has sprung, and which is without deterioration of any kind
Mbh.12.284.17656	Salutations to thee that art of three eyes, that art the lord of Amvika, that art Manifest, and that art Unmanifest
Mbh.12.302.19030	The Manifest or Hiranyagarbha is created from the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.302.19050	And since the universe, which is made up of Manifest and Unmanifest, meet with destruction, therefore, it is said to be Destructible.
Mbh.12.302.19058	It is that Unmanifest Prakriti, which, when endued with body in consequence of union with Chit dwells in the hearts of all creatures endued with body.
Mbh.12.304.19151	The Mahat-Soul, which is the twenty-fifth, if it regards that body of sixteen portions called the Unmanifest has to assume it repeatedly.
Mbh.12.305.19202	Only the highest Rishis conversant with the Sankhya and the Yoga systems know that Supreme Soul which Sankhya and Yogins and believers in all other systems say is beyond the Understanding, which is regarded as Knower and endued with the highest wisdom in consequence of its casting off all consciousness of identification with Prakriti, which transcends the attribute of Ignorance or Error, which is Unmanifest, which is beyond all attributes, which is called the Supreme, which is dissociated from all attributes, which ordains all things, which is Eternal and Immutable, which overrules Prakriti and all the attributes born of Prakriti, and which, transcending the four and twenty topics of enquiry, forms the twenty-fifth.
Mbh.12.305.19203	When men of knowledge, who stand in fear of birth, of the several conditions of living consciousness, and of death, succeed in knowing the Unmanifest, they succeed in understanding the Supreme Soul at the same time.
Mbh.12.306.19252	The Sankhyas, whose system is built on Prakriti, say that Prakriti, which is Unmanifest, is the foremost.
Mbh.12.306.19275	And because He knows that Unmanifest Kshetra, He is, therefore, also called Kshetrajna Knower of Kshetra.
Mbh.12.306.19276	And because also the Soul enters into Unmanifest Kshetra viz, the body, therefore he is called Purusha.
Mbh.12.306.19278	Kshetra is Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.306.19281	Knowledge, again, has been said to be Unmanifest, while the object of knowledge is the Soul which transcends the four and twenty principles.
Mbh.12.306.19282	The Unmanifest is called Kshetra.
Mbh.12.306.19298	All things, or the entire universe, have been said to be the result of the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.307.19314	Of all knowledge that which is the Object of Knowledge has been said to be the Unmanifest, O king
Mbh.12.307.19315	Again, Knowledge has been said to be Unmanifest and the Object of knowledge to be that which transcends the four and twenty.
Mbh.12.307.19316	Once more, Knowledge has been said to be Unmanifest, and the Knower is that which transcends the four and twenty.
Mbh.12.307.19324	In consequence of its attributes of repeated Creation and Destruction, the Unmanifest or Prakriti is called Indestructible.
Mbh.12.307.19325	That Unmanifest becomes repeatedly modified for the purpose of creating the principle.
Mbh.12.307.19326	And because the principles beginning with Mahat are produced by Purusha as well, and because also Purusha and the Unmanifest are mutually dependant upon each other, therefore is Purusha also, the twenty-fifth, called Kshetra and hence Akshara or Indestructible
Mbh.12.307.19327	When the Yogin withdraws and merges all the principles into the Unmanifest Soul or Brahma then the twenty-fifth viz, Jiva or Purusha also, with all those principles disappears into it.
Mbh.12.307.19370	The twenty-fifth, viz, Jiva, when he thus succeeds in understanding the Supreme, becomes able to cast off the Destructible and attain to identity with that which is Indestructible and which is the essence of all that is auspicious, Destitute of attributes in his true nature and in reality Unmanifest, Jiva becomes invested with what is Manifest and assumes attributes.
Mbh.12.307.19371	When he succeeds in beholding that which is without attributes and which is the origin of the Unmanifest, he attains, O ruler of Mithila, to identify the same.
Mbh.12.308.19386	Ceaselessly for his sport, O monarch, does Jiva undergo modifications, and because he is capable of understanding the action of the Unmanifest, therefore is he called Budhyamana the Comprehender
Mbh.12.308.19387	The Unmanifest or Prakriti can at no time comprehend Brahma which is really without attributes even when it manifests itself with attributes.
Mbh.12.308.19392	Indeed because the twenty-fifth can comprehend the Unmanifest, he is therefore, called Budhyamana or Comprehender.
Mbh.12.308.19395	O thou of great effulgence, only men of wisdom succeed in knowing that Brahma which is Unmanifest, which inheres in its real nature to all that is seen and unseen, and which, O son is the one independent essence in the universe
Mbh.12.308.19399	He then casts off the Unmanifest or Prakriti which is fraught with the attributes of Creation and Destruction.
Mbh.12.308.19401	In consequence of his thus understanding the Unmanifest to be something different from him, he succeeds in acquiring the nature of the Supreme Soul.
Mbh.12.308.19414	Indeed, when Jiva, attaining to the twenty-sixth which is Unborn and Puissant and which is dissociated from all attachments, succeeds in comprehending it thoroughly, he himself becomes possessed of puissance and entirely casts off the Unmanifest or Prakriti.
Mbh.12.308.19420	This is called Emancipation, viz, this comprehension or knowledge of oneself as something distinct from Unintelligent or Unmanifest Prakriti.
Mbh.12.308.19421	The twenty-fifth, which resides in the bodies of living creatures, should be emancipated by making him know the Unmanifest or the Supreme Soul which transcends the understanding.
Mbh.12.308.19464	It is bottomless and called the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.310.19510	What is the Unmanifest and highest Brahma?
Mbh.12.310.19525	The Unmanifest or original Prakriti, Mahat, Consciousness, and the five subtile elements of Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light, these eight are known by the name of Prakriti.
Mbh.12.310.19532	From the Unmanifest, O king, springs the Mahat-soul.
Mbh.12.311.19549	SECTION CCCXII Yajnavalkya said, Listen to me, O foremost of men, as I tell thee what the duration of time is in respect to the Unmanifest or the Supreme Purusha.
Mbh.12.314.19634	The Unmanifest Purusha endued with the six Yoga attributes transforms himself by himself into hundreds and thousands and millions and millions of forms by embracing these three attributes.
Mbh.12.314.19645	They constitute the Unmanifest or Prakriti.
Mbh.12.314.19646	When the Unmanifest Purusha becomes endued with only Sattwa, he attains to the regions of the deities.
Mbh.12.314.19652	Thou hadst asked me about the nature of the Supreme residing in the Unmanifest, viz, Purusha.
Mbh.12.315.19672	Unmanifest Prakriti is by her nature endued with attributes.
Mbh.12.315.19675	Unmanifest Prakriti cannot know anything, while Purusha, by his nature, is possessed of knowledge, There is nothing higher than myself, even this is what Purusha is always conscious of.
Mbh.12.318.19776	SECTION CCCXIX Yajnavalkya said, Thou hast asked me, O monarch, of that Supreme Brahma which resides in the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.318.19845	The Universe is Unmanifest and original Prakriti endued with the principles of birth and death which are terrible to those that are desirous of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.318.19878	The Eternal and Unmanifest Supreme Soul is regarded by men of foolish understandings to be different from the twenty-fifth or Jiva-soul.
Mbh.12.318.19962	Both Sankhyas and Yogins, agreeably to the teachings of their sciences, regard this universe to be due to the action of the Manifest and the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.318.19972	Only when one succeeds in apprehending the Supreme or Unmanifest, one comes to be regarded with reverence.
Mbh.12.318.19976	Those persons, learned in the scriptures, who succeed in apprehending Eternal Brahma who is higher than Unmanifest Prakriti, succeed in obtaining that which transcends birth and death, which is free from attributes, and which is both existent and non-existent I got all this knowledge from Janaka.
Mbh.12.320.20212	Whether the Unmanifest or the Manifest be their cause, or whether the two viz, the Supreme or Purusha and the Manifest or atoms be regarded as their cause, or fourthly, whether the four together viz, the Supreme or Purusha and his Maya and Jiva and Avidya or Ignorance be the cause, they that are conversant with Adhyatma behold Prakriti as the cause of all creatures.
Mbh.12.320.20213	That Prakriti which is Unmanifest, becomes manifest in the form of these principles.
Mbh.12.321.20369	It behoveth thee, O thou of Kuru's race, to discourse to me on the conclusions in respect of the Unmanifest Cause, the Manifest Effects, and of the Truth or Brahma that is in, but unattached to them, as also of the acts of the self-born Narayana, as they are known to thy understanding.
Mbh.12.329.21037	These seventeen, which are known by the name of the Unmanifest, with all those that are called Manifest, viz, the five objects of the five senses, that is to say, form, taste, sound, touch, and scent, with Consciousness and the Understanding, form the well-known tale of four and twenty.
Mbh.12.329.21042	Whatever objects transcend the senses and are apprehended by means only of their indications are said to be Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.336.21615	He is Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.338.21695	Thou art he who is divested of all attributes, who is the Witness of all the worlds, who is called Kshetrajna, who is the foremost of all Beings, who is Infinite, who is called Purusha, who is the great Purusha, who is the foremost of all Purushas, who is the soul of the three attributes, who is called the Foremost, who is Amrita nectar, who is called Immortal, who is called Ananta Sesha, who is Space who is without beginning, who is both Manifest and Unmanifest as existent and not-existent things, who is said to have his home in Truth who is the first of gods Narayana, who is the giver of wealth or of the fruits of acts, identified with Daksha and other Lords of the Creation, who is the Aswattha and other big trees, who is the four-headed Brahman, who is the Lord of all created Beings, who is the Lord of Speech who is the Lord of the universe or Indra, who is the all-pervading Soul, who is the Sun, who is the breath called Prana, who is the Lord of the waters viz, Varuna, who is identifiable with the Emperor or the King, who is identifiable with the Regents of the several points of the compass, who is the refuge of the universe when it is dissolved in the final destruction who is Undisplayed unrevealed, who is the giver of the Vedas unto Brahman, who is identifiable with the sacrifices and Vedic studies achieved by Brahmanas with the aid of their bodies, who is identifiable with the four principal orders of the deities, who is every one of those four orders, who is possessed of effulgence, who is possessed of great effulgence, who is he unto whom the seven largest offerings in sacrifices are presented with the Gayatri and other sacred mantras, who is Yama, who is Chitragupta and the other attendants of Yama, who is called the wife of Yama, who is that order of the deities called Tushita, who is that other order called Mahatushita, who is the universal grinder Death, who is desire and all diseases that have been created for aiding the advent of Death, who is health and freedom from disease, who is subject to desire and passions, who is free from the influence of desire and passions, who is Infinite as exhibited in species and forms, who is he that is chastised, who is he that is the chastiser, who is all the lesser sacrifices like Agnihotra and others, who is all the larger sacrifices like those called Brahma, etc,
Mbh.12.339.21838	Mind is a great creature, and it disappears into Unmanifest Prakriti.
Mbh.12.339.21839	Unmanifest Prakriti, O Brahmana, disappears into inactive Purusha.
Mbh.12.340.22050	From Him springs forth Abyakta the Unmanifest, whom the learned call Pradhana.
Mbh.12.340.22051	From the puissant Unmanifest sprang, for the creation of all the words, the Manifest Byakta.
Mbh.12.340.22130	From Unmanifest Prakriti has flowed Consciousness and the three great attributes of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas.
Mbh.12.342.22334	The Manifest disappears into the Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.347.23002	The Manifest merges into the Unmanifest or Prakriti.
Mbh.12.347.23003	The Unmanifest or Prakriti merges into Purusha Jivatman and Purusha merges into the Supreme Soul or Brahman.
Mbh.12.347.23053	Thou art the Creator of both what is Manifest and what is Unmanifest.
Mbh.12.348.23237	Having said this unto Brahma, Narayana disappeared and proceeded to that spot which is beyond the reach of Tamas, where the Unmanifest resides, and which is known by the men of acts without desire of fruits.
Mbh.13.14.1536	Thou art the Unmanifest, thou art Pavana, thou art inconceivable, thou art the thousand-rayed Sun, thou art the effulgent Chit, thou art the first of all the topics, and thou art the refuge of life
Mbh.13.16.1676	Thou art Pradhana and Mahat, thou art Unmanifest, and thou art this world.
Mbh.13.17.2640	Thou art the seed of all creatures being of the form of that Unmanifest Chaitanya consciousness endued with Maya or illusion whence all creatures spring.
Mbh.14.44.1842	The Unmanifest is the source of all the worlds as, indeed, that is the end of every thing.
Mbh.14.48.2023	When the quality of Goodness predominates in that which arises from the Unmanifest, it becomes fit for immortality.
Mbh.14.50.2173	Above the soul is the Unmanifest.
Mbh.14.50.2174	Above the Unmanifest is Purusha.
Mbh.14.51.2184	This forest of Brahman begins with the Unmanifest and ends with gross objects.
Mbh.14.51.2211	Those persons who are freed from the idea of mineness as also from egoism and who are reborn after having attained to the fullness of Yoga contemplation, enter when they depart from such life into the highest region reserved for the great, viz, the Unmanifest.
