18.136 Shankaracharya

ज्ञातता स्वात्मलाभो वा सिद्धिः स्यादन्यदेव वा । ज्ञातत्वेऽनन्तरोक्तौ त्वं पक्षौ संस्मर्तुमर्हसि ॥

jñātatā svātmalābho vā siddhiḥ syādanyadeva vā | jñātatve'nantaroktau tvaṃ pakṣau saṃsmartumarhasi ||

Establishment would be either being known, or coming into existence, or something else. If it is being known, you should recall the two positions just stated.

सिद्धि या तो ज्ञात होना होगी, या स्वरूप-लाभ (अस्तित्व में आना), या कुछ और। यदि ज्ञात होना है, तो तुम्हें अभी कहे गए दोनों पक्ष याद करने चाहिए।
