etat anuttamam nidarśanam yogavidbhiḥ proktam.
22. The muñja grass is said to be its body, and the reed is referred to as the self (ātman) residing within. This is proclaimed as an excellent analogy by those who understand (yoga).

25. The self-controlled (vaśī) individual, who is disciplined (yukta), bestows divinity even upon the gods. And, abandoning the impermanent body, such a one attains the imperishable supreme reality (brahman).

26. vinasyatsu api lokeṣu tasya bhayam na jāyate
kliśyamāneṣu bhūteṣu sa na kliśyati kenacit
26. Even when the worlds are perishing, no fear arises for him. When beings (bhūta) are tormented, he himself is not tormented by anything.

ataḥ loke kvacana sukhataram kiṃcit na vidyate

34. saṁniyamyendriyagrāmaṁ nirghoṣe nirjane vane ,
kāyamabhyantaraṁ kṛtsnamekāgraḥ paricintayet.
34. saṃniyamya indriyagrāmam nirghoṣe nirjane vane
kāyam abhyantaram kṛtsnam ekāgraḥ paricintayet
34. nirghoṣe nirjane vane indriyagrāmam saṃniyamya
ekāgraḥ kṛtsnam abhyantaram kāyam paricintayet
34. Completely restraining the senses in a quiet, solitary forest, one should, with single-pointed concentration, contemplate the entire inner body.
दन्तांस्तालु च जिह्वां च गलं ग्रीवां तथैव च ।
हृदयं चिन्तयेच्चापि तथा हृदयबन्धनम् ॥३५॥
35. dantāṁstālu ca jihvāṁ ca galaṁ grīvāṁ tathaiva ca ,
hṛdayaṁ cintayeccāpi tathā hṛdayabandhanam.
35. dantān tālu ca jihvām ca galam grīvām tathā eva
ca hṛdayam cintayet ca api tathā hṛdayabandhanam
35. dantān tālu ca jihvām ca galam grīvām tathā eva
ca hṛdayam ca api tathā hṛdayabandhanam cintayet
35. One should contemplate the teeth, the palate, the tongue, the throat, and the neck. Likewise, one should reflect on the heart and also that which binds the heart (its attachments or surrounding structures).
इत्युक्तः स मया शिष्यो मेधावी मधुसूदन ।
पप्रच्छ पुनरेवेमं मोक्षधर्मं सुदुर्वचम् ॥३६॥
36. ityuktaḥ sa mayā śiṣyo medhāvī madhusūdana ,
papraccha punarevemaṁ mokṣadharmaṁ sudurvacam.
36. iti uktaḥ saḥ mayā śiṣyaḥ medhāvī madhusūdana
papraccha punaḥ eva imam mokṣadharmam sudurvacam
36. madhusūdana mayā iti uktaḥ saḥ medhāvī śiṣyaḥ
punaḥ eva imam sudurvacam mokṣadharmam papraccha
36. O Madhusūdana, when I had thus instructed that intelligent disciple, he again asked about this natural law (dharma) of liberation (mokṣa), which is very difficult to explain.
भुक्तं भुक्तं कथमिदमन्नं कोष्ठे विपच्यते ।
कथं रसत्वं व्रजति शोणितं जायते कथम् ।
तथा मांसं च मेदश्च स्नाय्वस्थीनि च पोषति ॥३७॥
37. bhuktaṁ bhuktaṁ kathamidamannaṁ koṣṭhe vipacyate ,
kathaṁ rasatvaṁ vrajati śoṇitaṁ jāyate katham ,
tathā māṁsaṁ ca medaśca snāyvasthīni ca poṣati.
37. bhuktam bhuktam katham idam annam koṣṭhe
vipacyate | katham rasatvam vrajati
śoṇitam jāyate katham | tathā māṃsam
ca medaḥ ca snāyu-asthīni ca poṣati
37. idam bhuktam bhuktam annam koṣṭhe
katham vipacyate katham rasatvam vrajati
śoṇitam katham jāyate tathā māṃsam
ca medaḥ ca snāyu-asthīni ca poṣati
37. How is the food that is eaten repeatedly digested within the abdominal cavity? How does it transform into nutrient fluid, and how does it become blood? Furthermore, how does it nourish the flesh, fat, sinews, and bones?
कथमेतानि सर्वाणि शरीराणि शरीरिणाम् ।
वर्धन्ते वर्धमानस्य वर्धते च कथं बलम् ।
निरोजसां निष्क्रमणं मलानां च पृथक्पृथक् ॥३८॥
38. kathametāni sarvāṇi śarīrāṇi śarīriṇām ,
vardhante vardhamānasya vardhate ca kathaṁ balam ,
nirojasāṁ niṣkramaṇaṁ malānāṁ ca pṛthakpṛthak.
38. katham etāni sarvāṇi śarīrāṇi śarīriṇām
| vardhante vardhamānasya vardhate
ca katham balam | nirojhasām

38. śarīriṇām etāni sarvāṇi śarīrāṇi
katham vardhante vardhamānasya balam
ca katham vardhate nirojhasām ca
malānām pṛthak pṛthak niṣkramaṇam
38. How do all these bodies of embodied beings grow, and how does strength increase for the growing individual? Furthermore, how are inert substances removed, and how are waste products eliminated separately?
कुतो वायं प्रश्वसिति उच्छ्वसित्यपि वा पुनः ।
कं च देशमधिष्ठाय तिष्ठत्यात्मायमात्मनि ॥३९॥
39. kuto vāyaṁ praśvasiti ucchvasityapi vā punaḥ ,
kaṁ ca deśamadhiṣṭhāya tiṣṭhatyātmāyamātmani.
39. kutaḥ vā ayam praśvasiti ucchvasiti api vā punaḥ |
kam ca deśam adhiṣṭhāya tiṣṭhati ātmā ayam ātmani
39. ayam kutaḥ vā praśvasiti,
vā punaḥ api ucchvasiti? ayam ātmā kam ca deśam adhiṣṭhāya ātmani tiṣṭhati?
39. From where does this (being) inhale, and where does it exhale? And which region does this individual self (ātman) occupy when it dwells within the body (ātmani)?
जीवः कायं वहति चेच्चेष्टयानः कलेवरम् ।
किंवर्णं कीदृशं चैव निवेशयति वै मनः ।
याथातथ्येन भगवन्वक्तुमर्हसि मेऽनघ ॥४०॥
40. jīvaḥ kāyaṁ vahati cecceṣṭayānaḥ kalevaram ,
kiṁvarṇaṁ kīdṛśaṁ caiva niveśayati vai manaḥ ,
yāthātathyena bhagavanvaktumarhasi me'nagha.
40. jīvaḥ kāyam vahati cet ceṣṭayānaḥ
kalevaram | kim-varṇam kīdṛśam ca eva
niveśayati vai manaḥ | yāthātathyena
bhagavan vaktum arhasi me anagha
40. cet jīvaḥ ceṣṭayānaḥ kāyam kalevaram vahati,
vai manaḥ kim-varṇam kīdṛśam ca eva niveśayati? anagha bhagavan me yāthātathyena vaktum arhasi.
40. If the living being (jīva) sustains and animates the body, then what is the nature and color with which the mind (manas) establishes itself (in that body)? O venerable Lord, O sinless one, you ought to explain this to me in its true nature.
इति संपरिपृष्टोऽहं तेन विप्रेण माधव ।
प्रत्यब्रुवं महाबाहो यथाश्रुतमरिंदम ॥४१॥
41. iti saṁparipṛṣṭo'haṁ tena vipreṇa mādhava ,
pratyabruvaṁ mahābāho yathāśrutamariṁdama.
41. iti samparipṛṣṭaḥ aham tena vipreṇa mādhava
pratyabruvam mahābāho yathāśrutam arindama
41. mādhava mahābāho arindama iti tena vipreṇa
samparipṛṣṭaḥ aham yathāśrutam pratyabruvam
41. O Mādhava, O mighty-armed one, O subduer of enemies, when I was thus thoroughly questioned by that brahmin, I replied exactly as I had heard.
यथा स्वकोष्ठे प्रक्षिप्य कोष्ठं भाण्डमना भवेत् ।
तथा स्वकाये प्रक्षिप्य मनो द्वारैरनिश्चलैः ।
आत्मानं तत्र मार्गेत प्रमादं परिवर्जयेत् ॥४२॥
42. yathā svakoṣṭhe prakṣipya koṣṭhaṁ bhāṇḍamanā bhavet ,
tathā svakāye prakṣipya mano dvārairaniścalaiḥ ,
ātmānaṁ tatra mārgeta pramādaṁ parivarjayet.
42. yathā svakoṣṭhe prakṣipya koṣṭham
bhāṇḍamanāḥ bhavet tathā svakāye prakṣipya
manaḥ dvāraiḥ aniścalaiḥ ātmānam
tatra mārgeta pramādam parivarjayet
42. yathā svakoṣṭhe koṣṭham prakṣipya
bhāṇḍamanāḥ bhavet tathā svakāye manaḥ
aniścalaiḥ dvāraiḥ prakṣipya tatra
ātmānam mārgeta pramādam parivarjayet
42. Just as one should be intent on the goods after placing them in one's own storeroom, so too, after fixing the mind within one's own body through unwavering senses, one should seek the individual self (ātman) therein, and completely avoid negligence.
एवं सततमुद्युक्तः प्रीतात्मा नचिरादिव ।
आसादयति तद्ब्रह्म यद्दृष्ट्वा स्यात्प्रधानवित् ॥४३॥
43. evaṁ satatamudyuktaḥ prītātmā nacirādiva ,
āsādayati tadbrahma yaddṛṣṭvā syātpradhānavit.
43. evam satatam udyuktaḥ prītātmā nacirāt iva
āsādayati tat brahma yat dṛṣṭvā syāt pradhānavit
43. evam satatam udyuktaḥ prītātmā nacirāt iva tat
brahma āsādayati yat dṛṣṭvā pradhānavit syāt
43. Thus, one who is constantly diligent and whose individual self (ātman) is pleased, soon attains that ultimate reality (brahman). Having realized which, one becomes a knower of the fundamental nature (pradhāna).
न त्वसौ चक्षुषा ग्राह्यो न च सर्वैरपीन्द्रियैः ।
मनसैव प्रदीपेन महानात्मनि दृश्यते ॥४४॥
44. na tvasau cakṣuṣā grāhyo na ca sarvairapīndriyaiḥ ,
manasaiva pradīpena mahānātmani dṛśyate.
44. na tu asau cakṣuṣā grāhyaḥ na ca sarvaiḥ api
indriyaiḥ manasā eva pradīpena mahān ātmani dṛśyate
44. tu asau cakṣuṣā na grāhyaḥ ca sarvaiḥ indriyaiḥ
api na mahān ātmani manasā eva pradīpena dṛśyate
44. But that (ātman) is not to be grasped by the eye, nor by any of the senses. The great (ātman) is seen within the self (ātmani) only by the mind (manas), which serves as a lamp.
सर्वतःपाणिपादं तं सर्वतोक्षिशिरोमुखम् ।
जीवो निष्क्रान्तमात्मानं शरीरात्संप्रपश्यति ॥४५॥
45. sarvataḥpāṇipādaṁ taṁ sarvatokṣiśiromukham ,
jīvo niṣkrāntamātmānaṁ śarīrātsaṁprapaśyati.
45. sarvataḥ pāṇipādam tam sarvataḥ akṣiśiromukham
jīvaḥ niṣkrāntam ātmānam śarīrāt samprapaśyati
45. The individual soul (jīva), having departed from the body, perceives the supreme Self (ātman) as possessing hands and feet everywhere, and eyes, heads, and mouths everywhere.
स तदुत्सृज्य देहं स्वं धारयन्ब्रह्म केवलम् ।
आत्मानमालोकयति मनसा प्रहसन्निव ॥४६॥
46. sa tadutsṛjya dehaṁ svaṁ dhārayanbrahma kevalam ,
ātmānamālokayati manasā prahasanniva.
46. saḥ tat utsṛjya deham svam dhārayan brahma
kevalam ātmānam ālokayati manasā prahasan iva
46. That (jīva), having abandoned his own body and sustaining only (brahman), perceives the (ātman) with his mind, as if smiling.
इदं सर्वरहस्यं ते मयोक्तं द्विजसत्तम ।
आपृच्छे साधयिष्यामि गच्छ शिष्य यथासुखम् ॥४७॥
47. idaṁ sarvarahasyaṁ te mayoktaṁ dvijasattama ,
āpṛcche sādhayiṣyāmi gaccha śiṣya yathāsukham.
47. idam sarvarahasyam te mayā uktam dvijasattama
āpṛcche sādhayiṣyāmi gaccha śiṣya yathāsukham
47. “O best of brahmins, this entire secret has been revealed to you by me. I take my leave, I shall proceed (on my task). Go, disciple, as you please.”
इत्युक्तः स तदा कृष्ण मया शिष्यो महातपाः ।
अगच्छत यथाकामं ब्राह्मणश्छिन्नसंशयः ॥४८॥
48. ityuktaḥ sa tadā kṛṣṇa mayā śiṣyo mahātapāḥ ,
agacchata yathākāmaṁ brāhmaṇaśchinnasaṁśayaḥ.
48. iti uktaḥ saḥ tadā kṛṣṇa mayā śiṣyaḥ mahātapaḥ
agacchat yathākāmam brāhmaṇaḥ chinnasaṃśayaḥ
48. “O Kṛṣṇa, that great ascetic disciple, thus addressed by me, then departed as he wished, that brahmin whose doubts were dispelled.”
वासुदेव उवाच ।
इत्युक्त्वा स तदा वाक्यं मां पार्थ द्विजपुंगवः ।
मोक्षधर्माश्रितः सम्यक्तत्रैवान्तरधीयत ॥४९॥
49. vāsudeva uvāca ,
ityuktvā sa tadā vākyaṁ māṁ pārtha dvijapuṁgavaḥ ,
mokṣadharmāśritaḥ samyaktatraivāntaradhīyata.
49. Vāsudeva uvāca iti uktvā sa tadā vākyam mām pārtha
dvijapuṅgavaḥ mokṣadharmāśritaḥ samyak tatra eva antaradhīyata
49. Vāsudeva uvāca Pārtha,
sa dvijapuṅgavaḥ mokṣadharmāśritaḥ,
iti vākyam mām uktvā,
tadā samyak tatra eva antaradhīyata.
49. Vāsudeva said: 'O Pārtha, having thus spoken those words to me, that foremost among the twice-born, who was thoroughly devoted to the principles of liberation (mokṣa-dharma), vanished right there.'
कच्चिदेतत्त्वया पार्थ श्रुतमेकाग्रचेतसा ।
तदापि हि रथस्थस्त्वं श्रुतवानेतदेव हि ॥५०॥
50. kaccidetattvayā pārtha śrutamekāgracetasā ,
tadāpi hi rathasthastvaṁ śrutavānetadeva hi.
50. kaccit etat tvayā pārtha śrutam ekāgracetasā
tadā api hi rathasthaḥ tvam śrutavān etat eva hi
50. Pārtha,
kaccit etat tvayā ekāgracetasā śrutam? Hi tadā api tvam rathasthaḥ eva etat hi śrutavān.
50. O Pārtha, I hope you heard this with a concentrated mind. For indeed, even then, you, though seated in the chariot, had heard this very thing.
नैतत्पार्थ सुविज्ञेयं व्यामिश्रेणेति मे मतिः ।
नरेणाकृतसंज्ञेन विदग्धेनाकृतात्मना ॥५१॥
51. naitatpārtha suvijñeyaṁ vyāmiśreṇeti me matiḥ ,
nareṇākṛtasaṁjñena vidagdhenākṛtātmanā.
51. na etat pārtha suvijñeyam vyāmiśreṇa iti me
matiḥ nareṇa akṛtasaṃjñena vidagdhena akṛtātmanā
51. Pārtha,
etat vyāmiśreṇa (nareṇa) suvijñeyam na.
Iti me matiḥ.
(Na ca) akṛtasaṃjñena,
vidagdhena,
akṛtātmanā (nareṇa api).
51. O Pārtha, this is not easily understood by a person with a confused mind – such is my conviction. Nor by one whose understanding is undeveloped, by a merely shrewd individual, or by one whose inner self (ātman) is uncultivated.
सुरहस्यमिदं प्रोक्तं देवानां भरतर्षभ ।
कच्चिन्नेदं श्रुतं पार्थ मर्त्येनान्येन केनचित् ॥५२॥
52. surahasyamidaṁ proktaṁ devānāṁ bharatarṣabha ,
kaccinnedaṁ śrutaṁ pārtha martyenānyena kenacit.
52. surahasyam idam proktam devānām bharatarṣabha kaccit
na idam śrutam pārtha martyena anyena kenacit
52. Bharatarṣabha,
idam devānām surahasyam proktam.
Pārtha,
kaccit idam anyena kenacit martyena na śrutam?
52. This has been declared a profound secret of the gods, O best among the Bhāratas. O Pārtha, I hope this has not been heard by any other mortal.
न ह्येतच्छ्रोतुमर्होऽन्यो मनुष्यस्त्वामृतेऽनघ ।
नैतदद्य सुविज्ञेयं व्यामिश्रेणान्तरात्मना ॥५३॥
53. na hyetacchrotumarho'nyo manuṣyastvāmṛte'nagha ,
naitadadya suvijñeyaṁ vyāmiśreṇāntarātmanā.
53. na hi etat śrotum arhaḥ anyaḥ manuṣyaḥ tvām ṛte
anagha na etat adya suvijñeyam vyāmiśreṇa antarātmanā
53. anagha hi tvām ṛte anyaḥ manuṣyaḥ etat śrotum na
arhaḥ adya vyāmiśreṇa antarātmanā etat na suvijñeyam
53. Indeed, no other human being is worthy to hear this, O sinless one, except you. Nor can this be easily understood today by a confused inner being (antarātman).
क्रियावद्भिर्हि कौन्तेय देवलोकः समावृतः ।
न चैतदिष्टं देवानां मर्त्यै रूपनिवर्तनम् ॥५४॥
54. kriyāvadbhirhi kaunteya devalokaḥ samāvṛtaḥ ,
na caitadiṣṭaṁ devānāṁ martyai rūpanivartanam.
54. kriyāvadbhiḥ hi kaunteya devalokaḥ samāvṛtaḥ na
ca etat iṣṭam devānām martyaiḥ rūpanivartanam
54. kaunteya hi kriyāvadbhiḥ devalokaḥ samāvṛtaḥ ca
devānām martyaiḥ etat rūpanivartanam na iṣṭam
54. Indeed, O son of Kunti, the realm of the gods (devaloka) is filled with those who perform auspicious actions. And this transformation of form by mortals is not desired by the gods.
परा हि सा गतिः पार्थ यत्तद्ब्रह्म सनातनम् ।
यत्रामृतत्वं प्राप्नोति त्यक्त्वा दुःखं सदा सुखी ॥५५॥
55. parā hi sā gatiḥ pārtha yattadbrahma sanātanam ,
yatrāmṛtatvaṁ prāpnoti tyaktvā duḥkhaṁ sadā sukhī.
55. parā hi sā gatiḥ pārtha yat tat brahma sanātanam
yatra amṛtatvam prāpnoti tyaktvā duḥkham sadā sukhī
55. pārtha hi sā parā gatiḥ yat tat sanātanam brahma
yatra duḥkham tyaktvā amṛtatvam prāpnoti sadā sukhī
55. Indeed, O son of Pṛthā (Pārtha), that supreme state is the eternal reality (sanātana brahman), where, having abandoned sorrow, one attains immortality (amṛtatva) and is forever happy.
एवं हि धर्ममास्थाय येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः ।
स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम् ॥५६॥
56. evaṁ hi dharmamāsthāya ye'pi syuḥ pāpayonayaḥ ,
striyo vaiśyāstathā śūdrāste'pi yānti parāṁ gatim.
56. evam hi dharmam āsthāya ye api syuḥ pāpayonayaḥ
striyaḥ vaiśyāḥ tathā śūdrāḥ te api yānti parām गतिम्
56. evam hi ye api pāpayonayaḥ syuḥ striyaḥ vaiśyāḥ
tathā śūdrāḥ dharmam āsthāya te api parām gatim yānti
56. Indeed, even those who may be of sinful birth, having adopted this natural law (dharma) - women, vaiśyas, and śūdras - they too attain the supreme state.
किं पुनर्ब्राह्मणाः पार्थ क्षत्रिया वा बहुश्रुताः ।
स्वधर्मरतयो नित्यं ब्रह्मलोकपरायणाः ॥५७॥
57. kiṁ punarbrāhmaṇāḥ pārtha kṣatriyā vā bahuśrutāḥ ,
svadharmaratayo nityaṁ brahmalokaparāyaṇāḥ.
57. kim punaḥ brāhmaṇāḥ pārtha kṣatriyāḥ vā bahuśrutāḥ
svadharmaratayaḥ nityaṃ brahmalokaparāyaṇāḥ
57. O Pārtha, what then of Brahmins or Kṣatriyas who are highly learned, always devoted to their own natural law (dharma), and whose ultimate aim is the realm of Brahmā?
हेतुमच्चैतदुद्दिष्टमुपायाश्चास्य साधने ।
सिद्धेः फलं च मोक्षश्च दुःखस्य च विनिर्णयः ।
अतः परं सुखं त्वन्यत्किं नु स्याद्भरतर्षभ ॥५८॥
58. hetumaccaitaduddiṣṭamupāyāścāsya sādhane ,
siddheḥ phalaṁ ca mokṣaśca duḥkhasya ca vinirṇayaḥ ,
ataḥ paraṁ sukhaṁ tvanyatkiṁ nu syādbharatarṣabha.
58. hetumat ca etat uddiṣṭam upāyāḥ ca asya
sādhane siddheḥ phalam ca mokṣaḥ ca
duḥkhasya ca viniścayaḥ ataḥ param sukham
tu anyat kim nu syāt bharatarṣabha
58. This teaching is expounded with its rationale, along with the methods for its accomplishment. The fruit of perfection is liberation (mokṣa) and the decisive resolution of suffering. Therefore, O best of the Bhāratas, what other happiness could there possibly be beyond this?
श्रुतवाञ्श्रद्दधानश्च पराक्रान्तश्च पाण्डव ।
यः परित्यजते मर्त्यो लोकतन्त्रमसारवत् ।
एतैरुपायैः स क्षिप्रं परां गतिमवाप्नुयात् ॥५९॥
59. śrutavāñśraddadhānaśca parākrāntaśca pāṇḍava ,
yaḥ parityajate martyo lokatantramasāravat ,
etairupāyaiḥ sa kṣipraṁ parāṁ gatimavāpnuyāt.
59. śrutavān śraddadhānaḥ ca parākrāntaḥ
ca pāṇḍava yaḥ parityajate martyaḥ
lokatantram asāravat etaiḥ upāyaiḥ
saḥ kṣipram parām gatim avāpnuyāt
59. O Pāṇḍava, any mortal who is learned, possesses faith (śraddhā), and is courageous, and who abandons the insubstantial worldly system, quickly attains the supreme state by these means.
एतावदेव वक्तव्यं नातो भूयोऽस्ति किंचन ।
षण्मासान्नित्ययुक्तस्य योगः पार्थ प्रवर्तते ॥६०॥
60. etāvadeva vaktavyaṁ nāto bhūyo'sti kiṁcana ,
ṣaṇmāsānnityayuktasya yogaḥ pārtha pravartate.
60. etāvat eva vaktavyam na ataḥ bhūyaḥ asti kiṃcana
ṣaṇmāsāt nityayuktasya yogaḥ pārtha pravartate
60. This much alone is to be stated; there is nothing more than this. O Pārtha, for one who is constantly engaged in spiritual discipline (yoga), the discipline (yoga) becomes effective within six months.
