The Tattva Samasa, quick and smart, A list of truths for the Sankhya heart.

A tiny text, just twenty-two, Explaining what is real and true.

It swiftly names the primal things, The categories that being brings.

From Prakriti, the unmanifest base, To Purusha, untouched by space.

The subtle elements it groups, The sense organs in ordered loops.

The mind, the ego, intellect’s sway, The twenty-five on grand display.

No lengthy prose, no complex plea, Just items named for you to see.

A summary key, a perfect start, To grasp the Sankhya's ancient art.
