अनन्त क्या, अन्तवत् क्या?

What is endless, what with-end?

शून्येषु सर्वधर्मेषु किमनन्तं किमन्तवत् ।

किमनन्तमन्तवच्च नानन्तं नान्तवच्च किम् ।।

śūnyeṣu sarva-dharmeṣu kim anantaṁ kim antavat

kim anantam antavac ca nānantaṁ nāntavac ca kim

"As all phenomena are empty, what is endless, what with-end?

What is endless and with-end (simultaneously)? What is (neither) endless nor not-endless?"

Nāgārjuna, Mūla-madhyamaka-kārikā, 1.22

क्योंकि हर भाव (भौतिक या मानसिक अनुभव) (परमार्थतः) शून्य ही है, तो अनन्त क्या, अन्तवत् क्या, (एक साथ) अनन्त और अन्तवत् क्या, ना तो अनन्त न ही अन्तवत् क्या?

With his unprecedented dialectic, Nāgārjuna (2/3rd century CE) transcends all categories and conceptual notions (vikalpas) --- studying Nāgārjuna makes us really understand what 'nirvikalpa' means in Vedānta.
