This is the ātmavidyā (knowledge of the self) which can help one to overcome the fears of karmavandhana (bindings of karma). It is through this knowledge that one may recognise one’s own self. Sage Kapila, the exponent of Sāṁkhya-darśana (Samkhya-darsana; Samkhya philosophy), told her mother, Devahūti (Devahuti), about this Ādhyātmikī ātmavidya (Adhyatmiki atmavidya).
