Sankhya Kārika
Karika 62
तस्मान्न बध्यतेऽद्धा न मुच्यते नापि संसरति पुरुषः। संसरति बध्यते मुच्यते च नानाश्रया प्रकृतिः ॥६२॥
tasmānna badhyatē'ddhā na mucyatē nāpi saṁsarati puruṣaḥ। saṁsarati badhyatē mucyatē ca nānāśrayā prakr̥tiḥ ॥62॥
[तस्मात् न बध्यते अद्धा न मुच्यते नापि संसरति पुरुषः। संसरति बध्यते मुच्यते च नानाश्रया प्रकृतिः॥
tasmāt = thereafter; na = not; badhyatē = is bound; addhā = certainly; na = not; mucyatē = is released; nāpi = not also; saṁsarati = transmigrates; puruṣaḥ = purusha; saṁsarati = transmigrates; badhyatē = is bound; mucyatē = is released; ca = and; nānāśrayā = the support of many; prakr̥tiḥ = is prakruti;]
Thereafter, certainly the Purusha is neither bound, nor released, nor transmigrated. That Prakruti transmigrates, is bound, is released, and is the supporter of many.
A unique view of Sankya is presented here. Transmigration of the Purusha ends with liberation. Whereas the Prakriti continues to transmigrate from one purusha to another providing a physical body. The Prakriti supports several purushas at once with the sole purpose of liberating the various purushas.

"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
