41. mahat ca phalavaiṣamyam karmasandhiṣu dṛśyate
anye śibikām vahanti anye śibikāgatāḥ yānti
41. A great disparity in the outcomes (phala) is observed among the combinations of actions (karma). Some people carry palanquins, while others ride in them.

मनुजाश्च शतस्त्रीकाः शतशो विधवाः स्त्रियः ॥४२॥

nu kim alpakleśam mahodayam śāśvatam sthānam syāt
47. There is great trouble associated with children and wives, and great effort is required for sacred knowledge and tradition. What, then, could be an eternal state, one with little trouble and great prosperity?
ततो मुहूर्तं संचिन्त्य निश्चितां गतिमात्मनः ।
परावरज्ञो धर्मस्य परां नैःश्रेयसीं गतिम् ॥४८॥
48. tato muhūrtaṁ saṁcintya niścitāṁ gatimātmanaḥ ,
parāvarajño dharmasya parāṁ naiḥśreyasīṁ gatim.
48. tataḥ muhūrtam saṃcintya niścitām gatim ātmanaḥ

48. tataḥ muhūrtam saṃcintya ātmanaḥ niścitām gatim
dharmasya parāvarajñaḥ parām naiḥśreyasīm gatim
48. Then, after contemplating for a moment, realizing the definite course for his self (ātman), and being one who discerns the higher and lower aspects of natural law (dharma), he considered the supreme path to ultimate welfare.
कथं त्वहमसंक्लिष्टो गच्छेयं परमां गतिम् ।
नावर्तेयं यथा भूयो योनिसंसारसागरे ॥४९॥

na āvarteyam yathā bhūyaḥ yonisaṃsārasāgare
49. katham tu aham asaṃkliṣṭaḥ parām gatim gaccheyam
yathā bhūyaḥ yonisaṃsārasāgare na āvarteyam
49. How, then, might I, remaining free from affliction, attain the supreme state? How can I ensure that I do not return again to the ocean of rebirth and transmigration (saṃsāra)?
परं भावं हि काङ्क्षामि यत्र नावर्तते पुनः ।
सर्वसङ्गान्परित्यज्य निश्चितां मनसो गतिम् ॥५०॥
50. paraṁ bhāvaṁ hi kāṅkṣāmi yatra nāvartate punaḥ ,
sarvasaṅgānparityajya niścitāṁ manaso gatim.
50. param bhāvam hi kāṅkṣāmi yatra na āvartate punaḥ
sarvasaṅgān parityajya niścitām manasaḥ gatim
50. hi sarvasaṅgān parityajya yatra punaḥ na āvartate
tam param bhāvam manasaḥ niścitām gatim kāṅkṣāmi
50. Indeed, I long for the supreme state, from which one does not return again, having relinquished all attachments, which is the mind's resolute goal.
तत्र यास्यामि यत्रात्मा शमं मेऽधिगमिष्यति ।
अक्षयश्चाव्ययश्चैव यत्र स्थास्यामि शाश्वतः ॥५१॥
51. tatra yāsyāmi yatrātmā śamaṁ me'dhigamiṣyati ,
akṣayaścāvyayaścaiva yatra sthāsyāmi śāśvataḥ.
51. tatra yāsyāmi yatra ātmā śamam me adhigamiṣyati
akṣayaḥ ca avyayaḥ ca eva yatra sthāsyāmi śāśvataḥ
51. I will go to that place where my inner self (ātman) will find peace. There, I will dwell eternally, imperishable and immutable.
न तु योगमृते शक्या प्राप्तुं सा परमा गतिः ।
अवबन्धो हि मुक्तस्य कर्मभिर्नोपपद्यते ॥५२॥
52. na tu yogamṛte śakyā prāptuṁ sā paramā gatiḥ ,
avabandho hi muktasya karmabhirnopapadyate.
52. na tu yogam ṛte śakyā prāptum sā paramā gatiḥ
avabandhaḥ hi muktasya karmabhiḥ na upapadyate
52. However, that supreme state cannot be attained without the practice of (yoga). Indeed, bondage by past actions (karma) does not apply to one who is liberated.
तस्माद्योगं समास्थाय त्यक्त्वा गृहकलेवरम् ।
वायुभूतः प्रवेक्ष्यामि तेजोराशिं दिवाकरम् ॥५३॥
53. tasmādyogaṁ samāsthāya tyaktvā gṛhakalevaram ,
vāyubhūtaḥ pravekṣyāmi tejorāśiṁ divākaram.
53. tasmāt yogam samāsthāya tyaktvā gṛhakalevaram
vāyubhūtaḥ pravekṣyāmi tejorāśim divākaram
53. Therefore, having adopted the discipline of (yoga) and abandoned this bodily dwelling, I will become like air and enter the radiant mass of the sun.
न ह्येष क्षयमाप्नोति सोमः सुरगणैर्यथा ।
कम्पितः पतते भूमिं पुनश्चैवाधिरोहति ।
क्षीयते हि सदा सोमः पुनश्चैवाभिपूर्यते ॥५४॥
54. na hyeṣa kṣayamāpnoti somaḥ suragaṇairyathā ,
kampitaḥ patate bhūmiṁ punaścaivādhirohati ,
kṣīyate hi sadā somaḥ punaścaivābhipūryate.
54. na hi eṣa kṣayam āpnoti somaḥ suragaṇaiḥ
yathā kampitaḥ patate bhūmim
punaḥ ca eva adhirohati kṣīyate hi
sadā somaḥ punaḥ ca eva abhipūryate
54. Indeed, this (self, ātman) does not meet with destruction. Just as the moon (Soma), even if disturbed by the hosts of gods, may appear to fall to earth, it always rises again. For the moon (Soma) constantly wanes and is surely replenished anew.
रविस्तु संतापयति लोकान्रश्मिभिरुल्बणैः ।
सर्वतस्तेज आदत्ते नित्यमक्षयमण्डलः ॥५५॥
55. ravistu saṁtāpayati lokānraśmibhirulbaṇaiḥ ,
sarvatasteja ādatte nityamakṣayamaṇḍalaḥ.
55. raviḥ tu saṃtāpayati lokān raśmibhiḥ ulbaṇaiḥ
| sarvataḥ tejaḥ ādatte nityam akṣayamaṇḍalaḥ
55. raviḥ tu akṣayamaṇḍalaḥ ulbaṇaiḥ raśmibhiḥ
lokān saṃtāpayati nityam sarvataḥ tejaḥ ādatte
55. The sun, indeed, with its fierce rays, intensely heats the worlds. It constantly draws energy from all sides, having an imperishable disk.
अतो मे रोचते गन्तुमादित्यं दीप्ततेजसम् ।
अत्र वत्स्यामि दुर्धर्षो निःसङ्गेनान्तरात्मना ॥५६॥
56. ato me rocate gantumādityaṁ dīptatejasam ,
atra vatsyāmi durdharṣo niḥsaṅgenāntarātmanā.
56. ataḥ me rocate gantum ādityam dīptatejasam |
atra vatsyāmi durdharṣaḥ niḥsaṅgena antarātmanā
56. ataḥ me dīptatejasam ādityam gantum rocate atra
durdharṣaḥ niḥsaṅgena antarātmanā vatsyāmi
56. Therefore, it pleases me to go to the sun, whose splendor is radiant. Here, I shall dwell, unassailable, with an unattached inner self (ātman).
सूर्यस्य सदने चाहं निक्षिप्येदं कलेवरम् ।
ऋषिभिः सह यास्यामि सौरं तेजोऽतिदुःसहम् ॥५७॥
57. sūryasya sadane cāhaṁ nikṣipyedaṁ kalevaram ,
ṛṣibhiḥ saha yāsyāmi sauraṁ tejo'tiduḥsaham.
57. sūryasya sadane ca aham nikṣipya idam kalevaram
| ṛṣibhiḥ saha yāsyāmi sauram tejaḥ atidussaham
57. ca aham sūryasya sadane idam kalevaram nikṣipya
ṛṣibhiḥ saha atidussaham sauram tejaḥ yāsyāmi
57. And I, having cast off this body in the abode of the sun, shall go with the sages to that intensely difficult solar (tejas).
आपृच्छामि नगान्नागान्गिरीनुर्वीं दिशो दिवम् ।
देवदानवगन्धर्वान्पिशाचोरगराक्षसान् ॥५८॥
58. āpṛcchāmi nagānnāgāngirīnurvīṁ diśo divam ,
devadānavagandharvānpiśācoragarākṣasān.
58. āpṛcchāmi nagān nāgān girīn urvīm diśaḥ divam
| devadānavagandharvān piśācoragarākṣasān
58. āpṛcchāmi nagān nāgān girīn urvīm diśaḥ
divam devadānavagandharvān piśācoragarākṣasān
58. I bid farewell to the mountains (nagas), serpents (nāgas), hills, earth, directions, and the sky; and to the devas, dānavas, gandharvas, piśācas, uragas, and rākṣasas.
लोकेषु सर्वभूतानि प्रवेक्ष्यामि नसंशयः ।
पश्यन्तु योगवीर्यं मे सर्वे देवाः सहर्षिभिः ॥५९॥
59. lokeṣu sarvabhūtāni pravekṣyāmi nasaṁśayaḥ ,
paśyantu yogavīryaṁ me sarve devāḥ saharṣibhiḥ.
59. lokeṣu sarvabhūtāni pravekṣyāmi na saṃśayaḥ
paśyantu yogavīryam me sarve devāḥ saharṣibhiḥ
59. I will undoubtedly enter into all beings in the worlds. Let all the gods, along with the sages, witness my power (yoga).
अथानुज्ञाप्य तमृषिं नारदं लोकविश्रुतम् ।
तस्मादनुज्ञां संप्राप्य जगाम पितरं प्रति ॥६०॥
60. athānujñāpya tamṛṣiṁ nāradaṁ lokaviśrutam ,
tasmādanujñāṁ saṁprāpya jagāma pitaraṁ prati.
60. atha anujñāpya tam ṛṣim nāradam lokaviśrutam
tasmāt anujñām saṃprāpya jagāma pitaram prati
60. Then, having taken leave of that world-renowned sage Narada, and having fully received his permission, he went towards his father.
सोऽभिवाद्य महात्मानमृषिं द्वैपायनं मुनिम् ।
शुकः प्रदक्षिणीकृत्य कृष्णमापृष्टवान्मुनिः ॥६१॥
61. so'bhivādya mahātmānamṛṣiṁ dvaipāyanaṁ munim ,
śukaḥ pradakṣiṇīkṛtya kṛṣṇamāpṛṣṭavānmuniḥ.
61. saḥ abhivādya mahātmānam ṛṣim dvaipāyanam munim
śukaḥ pradakṣiṇīkṛtya kṛṣṇam āpṛṣṭavān muniḥ
61. The sage Shuka, having saluted the great-souled sage Dvaipayana, and having respectfully circumambulated Krishna (Dvaipayana), questioned him.
श्रुत्वा ऋषिस्तद्वचनं शुकस्य प्रीतो महात्मा पुनराह चैनम् ।
भो भोः पुत्र स्थीयतां तावदद्य यावच्चक्षुः प्रीणयामि त्वदर्थम् ॥६२॥
62. śrutvā ṛṣistadvacanaṁ śukasya; prīto mahātmā punarāha cainam ,
bho bhoḥ putra sthīyatāṁ tāvadadya; yāvaccakṣuḥ prīṇayāmi tvadartham.
62. śrutvā ṛṣiḥ tat vacanam śukasya
prītaḥ mahātmā punaḥ āha ca enam
bhoḥ bhoḥ putra sthīyatām tāvat adya
yāvat cakṣuḥ prīṇayāmi tvadartham
62. Having heard Shuka's words, the great-souled sage (Vyasa), pleased, then spoke to him again: 'O son, please stay here for a while today, so that I may feast my eyes upon you.'
निरपेक्षः शुको भूत्वा निःस्नेहो मुक्तबन्धनः ।
मोक्षमेवानुसंचिन्त्य गमनाय मनो दधे ।
पितरं संपरित्यज्य जगाम द्विजसत्तमः ॥६३॥
63. nirapekṣaḥ śuko bhūtvā niḥsneho muktabandhanaḥ ,
mokṣamevānusaṁcintya gamanāya mano dadhe ,
pitaraṁ saṁparityajya jagāma dvijasattamaḥ.
63. nirapekṣaḥ śukaḥ bhūtvā niḥsnehaḥ
muktabandhanaḥ mokṣam eva anusaṃcintya
gamanāya manaḥ dadhe pitaram
saṃparityajya jagāma dvijasattamaḥ
63. dvijasattamaḥ śukaḥ nirapekṣaḥ
niḥsnehaḥ muktabandhanaḥ bhūtvā mokṣam
eva anusaṃcintya gamanāya manaḥ
dadhe pitaram saṃparityajya jagāma
63. Shuka, the best among the twice-born (dvija), having become unattached, devoid of affection, and freed from all bonds, set his mind on departure, meditating solely on liberation (mokṣa). Abandoning his father, he left.
