Upadeshasahasri 16.51

16.51 Shankaracharya

न प्रकाश्यं यथोष्णत्वं ज्ञानेनैवं सुखादयः । एकनीडत्वतोऽग्राह्याः स्युः कणादादिवर्त्मनाम् ॥

na prakāśyaṃ yathoṣṇatvaṃ jñānenaivaṃ sukhādayaḥ | ekanīḍatvato'grāhyāḥ syuḥ kaṇādādivartmanām ||

Just as heat [in fire] is not lit up by [the fire's own] light, so pleasure and the like could not be grasped by knowledge, since [on the view of] those following Kaṇāda and others they reside in the same substrate.

जैसे (आग की) उष्णता (उसी के) प्रकाश से प्रकाशित नहीं होती, वैसे ही कणाद आदि के मार्ग वालों के मत में सुख आदि ज्ञान से ग्रहण नहीं हो सकते, क्योंकि दोनों एक ही आश्रय में रहते हैं।
