> অনুবাদমনুক্ত্বৈব ন বিধেয়মুদীরয়েৎ ।\
> ন হ্যলব্ধাস্পদং কিঞ্চিৎ কুত্রচিৎ প্রতিতিষ্ঠতি ॥৫৮॥

> anuvādam anuktvaiva\
> na vidheyam udīrayet\
> na hy alabdhāspadaṁ kiñcit\
> kutracit pratitiṣṭhati

*anuvādam*—things already known; *anuktvā*—without mentioning; *eva*—certainly; *na*—not; *vidheyam*—unknown subject matters; *udīrayet*—one should mention; *na*—not; *hi*—certainly; *alabdha-āspadam*—without having achieved a proper place; *kiñcit*—something; *kutracit*—anywhere; *pratitiṣṭhati*—has a position.

**“ 'Without first mentioning what is known, one should not introduce the unknown, for that which has no solid basis can never be established anywhere.'**

This is a verse from the *Ekādaśī-tattva.*
