karmaṇām uddharan jaṭāḥ
hiraṇya-keśaḥ padmākṣaḥ
padma-mudrā-padāmbujaḥ
eṣa mānavi te garbhaṁ
praviṣṭaḥ kaiṭabhārdanaḥ

O daughter of Manu! In order to uproot karma by the methods of jñāna and vijñāna, with golden hair, lotus eyes, lotus feet marked with the lotus, this Lord, killer of the demon Kaitabha, entering your womb, will travel over the world, cutting the knot of ignorance and false knowledge.
Brahmā speaks to Devahūti. Jñanam means knowledge of God without form, and vijñānam means knowledge of God with form. By these methods he will travel the earth to uproot (uddharan) the roots or vāsanā of karma. He will cut the knot in the heart made of ignorance concerning one’s svarūpa (avidyā) and false knowledge (samśaya).

ayaṁ siddha-gaṇādhīśaḥ
sāṅkhyācāryaiḥ susammataḥ
loke kapila ity ākhyāṁ
gantā te kīrti-vardhanaḥ
The chief of perfected sages, approved by the ācāryas of Sāṅkhya philosophy, he will take the name Kapila in this world and will increase your fame.
This person is approved. There is another perfect sage called Kapila, founder of the Sāṅkhya philosophy who is not well approved. He will preach philosophy contrary to the theistic philosophy of the Vedas. It is said in the Padma Purāṇa:
kapilo vāsudevo’khyas tattvaṁ sāṅkhyaṁ jagāda ha
brahmādibhyaś ca devebhyo bhṛgvādibhyas tathaiva ca
tathaivāsuraye sarva-vedārthair upabṛṁhitam
sarva-vedaviruddhañ ca kapilo ’nyo jagāda ha
sāṅkhyam āsuraye anyasmai kutarka-paribṛṁhitam
Kapila or Vasudeva spoke the real Sāṅkhya, which is filled with the meaning of all the Vedas to Brahmā and others, the devatās, the sages such as Bhṛgu, and to a person called Āsuri. Another Kapila spoke Sāṅkhya which is contrary to the Vedas, filled with bad logic, to another person called Āsuri.
