17. That (subtle body) which is shaped by past actions (karma) is born repeatedly in various places. This physical body, O Vaideha, indeed dies here and there. Thus, another intrinsic nature (svabhāva) is observed: the dissolution or consequence (visarga) of action (karma).

परिभ्रमति भूतात्मा द्यामिवाम्बुधरो महान् ॥१८॥

hi ātmā manasaḥ paramaḥ manaḥ indriyebhyaḥ param

द्विविधानां च भूतानां जङ्गमाः परमा नृप ।
जङ्गमानामपि तथा द्विपदाः परमा मताः ।

द्विजानामपि राजेन्द्र प्रज्ञावन्तः परा मताः ।
प्राज्ञानामात्मसंबुद्धाः संबुद्धानाममानिनः ॥२१॥
21. dvijānāmapi rājendra prajñāvantaḥ parā matāḥ ,
prājñānāmātmasaṁbuddhāḥ saṁbuddhānāmamāninaḥ.

prājñānām ātmasambuddhāḥ sambuddhānām amāninaḥ

22. nṛṇām jātam maraṇam anveti iti viniścayaḥ

22. It is a certain truth that death follows for all beings who are born among humans. Indeed, living beings engage in actions (karma) that are finite, motivated by their inherent qualities.
आपन्ने तूत्तरां काष्ठां सूर्ये यो निधनं व्रजेत् ।
नक्षत्रे च मुहूर्ते च पुण्ये राजन्स पुण्यकृत् ॥२३॥
23. āpanne tūttarāṁ kāṣṭhāṁ sūrye yo nidhanaṁ vrajet ,
nakṣatre ca muhūrte ca puṇye rājansa puṇyakṛt.

mṛtyunā aprākṛtena iha karma kṛtvā ātmaśaktitaḥ
24. janam kleśena ayojayitvā ca duṣkṛtam plāvya
iha ātmaśaktitaḥ karma kṛtvā aprākṛtena mṛtyunā

| evaṃvidhaiḥ ca bahubhiḥ aparaiḥ prākṛtaiḥ api
26. puṇyakarmāṇaḥ ebhiḥ ca na yujyante,
abhisandhijaiḥ na (yujyante),
evaṃvidhaiḥ ca bahubhiḥ aparaiḥ prākṛtaiḥ api (na yujyante)
26. And those who perform meritorious deeds (karma) are not bound by these (actions), nor by those that arise from specific intention (abhisandhi), nor indeed by many other similar innate (prākṛta) actions.
ऊर्ध्वं हित्वा प्रतिष्ठन्ते प्राणाः पुण्यकृतां नृप ।

puṇyakṛtām prāṇāḥ hitvā ūrdhvam pratiṣṭhante; madhyapuṇyānām madhyataḥ,
duṣkṛtakarmaṇām adhaḥ (pratiṣṭhante)
27. O King, having left (the body), the vital breaths (prāṇa) of those who perform meritorious deeds (karma) ascend; those of moderately virtuous people remain in the middle, and those of evil-doers descend.

28. O King, there is only one enemy; no second enemy exists that is comparable to ignorance (ajñāna) for a person (puruṣa). Shrouded by which (ignorance), when intimately connected, one performs terrible and extremely cruel actions (karma).

29. O Prince, for him whose awakening (prabodhana) is associated with the teachings of the scriptures (śruti) and natural law (dharma), and is to be cultivated by serving elders - he, though difficult to achieve by (mere) effort, indeed attains final liberation (mokṣa) when completely overcome by the arrow of wisdom (prajñā).
अधीत्य वेदांस्तपसा ब्रह्मचारी यज्ञाञ्शक्त्या संनिसृज्येह पञ्च ।

30. A person desiring to fulfill their natural law (dharma), having first lived as a celibate student (brahmacārī) and studied the Vedas, having performed austerities (tapas), and having offered the five Vedic rituals (yajña) in this world according to their capacity, should, after establishing their lineage and accumulating merit, then proceed to the forest.
उपभोगैरपि त्यक्तं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।
चण्डालत्वेऽपि मानुष्यं सर्वथा तात दुर्लभम् ॥३१॥
31. upabhogairapi tyaktaṁ nātmānamavasādayet ,

31. upabhogaiḥ api tyaktam ātmānam na avasādayet
tāta caṇḍālatve api mānuṣyam sarvathā durlabham
31. Even if forsaken by worldly enjoyments, one should not deject oneself (ātman). O dear one, human birth (mānuṣyam) is indeed exceedingly rare, even in the state of an outcast.
इयं हि योनिः प्रथमा यां प्राप्य जगतीपते ।
आत्मा वै शक्यते त्रातुं कर्मभिः शुभलक्षणैः ॥३२॥
32. iyaṁ hi yoniḥ prathamā yāṁ prāpya jagatīpate ,
ātmā vai śakyate trātuṁ karmabhiḥ śubhalakṣaṇaiḥ.
32. iyam hi yoniḥ prathamā yām prāpya jagatīpate

32. jagatīpate hi iyam prathamā yoniḥ yām prāpya
vai ātmā śubhalakṣaṇaiḥ karmabhiḥ trātum śakyate
32. O lord of the earth, this is indeed the primary birth (yoni), having attained which, one's self (ātman) can verily be saved through auspicious actions (karma).
कथं न विप्रणश्येम योनितोऽस्या इति प्रभो ।
कुर्वन्ति धर्मं मनुजाः श्रुतिप्रामाण्यदर्शनात् ॥३३॥
33. kathaṁ na vipraṇaśyema yonito'syā iti prabho ,
kurvanti dharmaṁ manujāḥ śrutiprāmāṇyadarśanāt.
33. katham na vipraṇaśyema yonitaḥ asyāḥ iti prabho
kurvanti dharmam manujāḥ śrutiprāmāṇyadarśanāt
33. prabho asyāḥ yonitaḥ katham na vipraṇaśyema iti
manujāḥ śrutiprāmāṇyadarśanāt dharmam kurvanti
33. "How can we not utterly perish from this cycle of birth (yoni)?" -- Thinking thus, O Lord, humans practice their natural law (dharma) because they perceive the authority of the scriptures (śruti).
यो दुर्लभतरं प्राप्य मानुष्यमिह वै नरः ।
धर्मावमन्ता कामात्मा भवेत्स खलु वञ्च्यते ॥३४॥
34. yo durlabhataraṁ prāpya mānuṣyamiha vai naraḥ ,
dharmāvamantā kāmātmā bhavetsa khalu vañcyate.
34. yaḥ durlabhataram prāpya mānuṣyam iha vai naraḥ
dharmāvamantā kāmātmā bhavet saḥ khalu vañcyate
34. yaḥ naraḥ iha durlabhataram mānuṣyam prāpya
dharmāvamantā kāmātmā bhavet saḥ khalu vañcyate
34. Indeed, that person who, having obtained this exceedingly rare human birth in this world, disregards natural law (dharma) and is driven by desires, is truly deluded.
यस्तु प्रीतिपुरोगेण चक्षुषा तात पश्यति ।
दीपोपमानि भूतानि यावदर्चिर्न नश्यति ॥३५॥
35. yastu prītipurogeṇa cakṣuṣā tāta paśyati ,
dīpopamāni bhūtāni yāvadarcirna naśyati.
35. yaḥ tu prītipurogeṇa cakṣuṣā tāta paśyati
dīpopamāni bhūtāni yāvat arciḥ na naśyati
35. tāta yaḥ tu prītipurogeṇa cakṣuṣā dīpopamāni
bhūtāni yāvat arciḥ na naśyati paśyati
35. But he, O dear one, who perceives all beings with an eye full of affection, seeing them as lamps whose flame does not perish.
सान्त्वेनानुप्रदानेन प्रियवादेन चाप्युत ।
समदुःखसुखो भूत्वा स परत्र महीयते ॥३६॥
36. sāntvenānupradānena priyavādena cāpyuta ,
samaduḥkhasukho bhūtvā sa paratra mahīyate.
36. sāntvena anupradānena priyavādena ca api uta
samaduḥkhasukhaḥ bhūtvā saḥ paratra mahīyate
36. ca api uta sāntvena anupradānena priyavādena
samaduḥkhasukhaḥ bhūtvā saḥ paratra mahīyate
36. And moreover, by means of conciliation, generous giving (dāna), and pleasant speech, one who shares equally in the sorrows and joys of others becomes exalted in the next world.
दानं त्यागः शोभना मूर्तिरद्भ्यो भूयः प्लाव्यं तपसा वै शरीरम् ।
सरस्वतीनैमिषपुष्करेषु ये चाप्यन्ये पुण्यदेशाः पृथिव्याम् ॥३७॥
37. dānaṁ tyāgaḥ śobhanā mūrtiradbhyo; bhūyaḥ plāvyaṁ tapasā vai śarīram ,
sarasvatīnaimiṣapuṣkareṣu; ye cāpyanye puṇyadeśāḥ pṛthivyām.
37. dānam tyāgaḥ śobhanā mūrtiḥ adbhyaḥ
bhūyaḥ plāvyam tapasā vai
śarīram sarasvatīnāimiṣapuṣkareṣu
ye ca api anye puṇyadeśāḥ pṛthivyām
37. dānam tyāgaḥ śobhanā mūrtiḥ vai
tapasā adbhyaḥ bhūyaḥ śarīram
plāvyam sarasvatīnāimiṣapuṣkareṣu
ye ca api anye pṛthivyām puṇyadeśāḥ
37. Giving (dāna), renunciation (tyāga), and a beautiful form (are virtues). Indeed, the body should be purified more thoroughly by water and by austerity (tapas). (These virtues are cultivated) in Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Puṣkara, and other sacred places on earth.
गृहेषु येषामसवः पतन्ति तेषामथो निर्हरणं प्रशस्तम् ।
यानेन वै प्रापणं च श्मशाने शौचेन नूनं विधिना चैव दाहः ॥३८॥
38. gṛheṣu yeṣāmasavaḥ patanti; teṣāmatho nirharaṇaṁ praśastam ,
yānena vai prāpaṇaṁ ca śmaśāne; śaucena nūnaṁ vidhinā caiva dāhaḥ.
38. gṛheṣu yeṣām asavaḥ patanti teṣām

atho teṣām nirharaṇam praśastam.
vai yānena ca śmaśāne prāpaṇam,
nūnam śaucena vidhinā ca eva dāhaḥ
38. For those whose lives end in their homes, their funeral procession is prescribed. Conveying them by vehicle to the cremation ground, and then performing the cremation with purification and according to the proper rituals, is indeed the correct procedure.
इष्टिः पुष्टिर्यजनं याजनं च दानं पुण्यानां कर्मणां च प्रयोगः ।
शक्त्या पित्र्यं यच्च किंचित्प्रशस्तं सर्वाण्यात्मार्थे मानवो यः करोति ॥३९॥
39. iṣṭiḥ puṣṭiryajanaṁ yājanaṁ ca; dānaṁ puṇyānāṁ karmaṇāṁ ca prayogaḥ ,
śaktyā pitryaṁ yacca kiṁcitpraśastaṁ; sarvāṇyātmārthe mānavo yaḥ karoti.
39. iṣṭiḥ puṣṭiḥ yajanam yājanam ca dānam

yajanam yājanam ca dānam puṇyānām karmaṇām

39. The human being who performs (according to their capacity) various Vedic rituals (iṣṭi), acts for prosperity (puṣṭi), undertakes Vedic rituals (yajña), causes others to perform them (yājanam), gives donations (dāna), engages in meritorious actions (karma), and (performs) whatever ancestral rites (pitrya) are prescribed according to their capacity, doing all these for their own spiritual benefit (ātman).
धर्मशास्त्राणि वेदाश्च षडङ्गानि नराधिप ।
श्रेयसोऽर्थे विधीयन्ते नरस्याक्लिष्टकर्मणः ॥४०॥

40. narādhipa,
dharmaśāstrāṇi vedāḥ ca ṣaḍaṅgāni (ca) narasya akliṣṭakarmaṇaḥ śreyasaḥ arthe vidhīyante
40. O ruler of men (narādhipa), the Dharma-śāstras, the Vedas, and their six auxiliary branches (aṅga) are laid down for the ultimate welfare (śreyas) of a person whose actions (karma) are pure and free from obstruction.

41. Bhishma said: "O ruler of men (narādhipa), all this has indeed been narrated by the great-souled sage (muni) in the past, to the King of Videha, for the sake of his ultimate welfare (śreyas)."
