क्व प्रमाता प्रमाणं वा क्व प्रमेयं क्व च प्रमा, क्व किञ्चित् क्व न किञ्चिद्वा सर्वदा विमलस्य मे। ॥6॥

kva pramātā pramāṇaṁ vā kva prameyaṁ kva ca pramā, kva kiñcit kva na kiñcidvā sarvadā vimalasya me. (6)

In this verse, the speaker questions the distinction between the one who knows and the tools used to gain knowledge, suggesting that true understanding goes beyond these concepts. It invites reflection on the nature of awareness and the essence of knowledge itself.
