parirakṣitāḥ te mahātmānaḥ asmin loke
pramodante ca pretya ānantyam eva ca

18. However, those kings in whose dominion virtuous people are well-protected rejoice in this world. And after death, these noble souls (mahātmānaḥ) certainly attain endlessness. Understand this, O best among the twice-born.

बुद्धिर्हि व्यवसायेन लक्ष्यते नात्र संशयः ॥२३॥

buddhirhi vyavasāyena lakṣyate nātra saṁśayaḥ.
23. manasā cintayānaḥ arthān buddhyā ca eva vyavasyati
buddhiḥ hi vyavasāyena lakṣyate na atra saṃśayaḥ
23. manasā arthān cintayānaḥ ca eva buddhyā vyavasyati.
buddhiḥ hi vyavasāyena lakṣyate.
atra saṃśayaḥ na.
23. Reflecting upon objects with the mind (manas), one indeed decides with the intellect (buddhi). For the intellect (buddhi) is characterized by resolute determination; there is no doubt in this matter.
लक्षणं महतो ध्यानमव्यक्तं साधुलक्षणम् ।
प्रवृत्तिलक्षणो योगो ज्ञानं संन्यासलक्षणम् ॥२४॥

24. The characteristic of the Great Principle (mahat) is meditation (dhyāna); the unmanifest (avyakta) is characterized by the virtuous. The practice of (yoga) is characterized by active engagement, and knowledge is characterized by renunciation (saṃnyāsa).
तस्माज्ज्ञानं पुरस्कृत्य संन्यसेदिह बुद्धिमान् ।
संन्यासी ज्ञानसंयुक्तः प्राप्नोति परमां गतिम् ।
अतीतोऽद्वंद्वमभ्येति तमोमृत्युजरातिगम् ॥२५॥
25. tasmājjñānaṁ puraskṛtya saṁnyasediha buddhimān ,
saṁnyāsī jñānasaṁyuktaḥ prāpnoti paramāṁ gatim ,
atīto'dvaṁdvamabhyeti tamomṛtyujarātigam.
25. tasmāt jñānam puraskṛtya saṃnyaset

advandvam abhyeti tamomṛtyujarātigam

saṃnyaset jñānasaṃyuktaḥ saṃnyāsī
parām gatim prāpnoti atītaḥ

25. Therefore, an intelligent person should embrace the path of renunciation (saṃnyāsa) in this world, prioritizing knowledge (jñāna). A renunciant (saṃnyāsī) who is endowed with knowledge attains the supreme destination. Such a one, having transcended all dualities, reaches a state beyond darkness (ignorance), death, and old age.

श्रोत्रस्थाश्च दिशः सर्वाः शब्दज्ञाने प्रकीर्तिताः ॥३१॥
31. ākāśasya guṇo ghoṣaḥ śrotreṇa sa tu gṛhyate ,
śrotrasthāśca diśaḥ sarvāḥ śabdajñāne prakīrtitāḥ.
31. ākāśasya guṇaḥ ghoṣaḥ śrotreṇa saḥ tu gṛhyate

31. Sound is the essential quality of space, and it is perceived by the ear. All directions, situated within the ear, are declared to be for the apprehension of sound.
मनसस्तु गुणश्चिन्ता प्रज्ञया स तु गृह्यते ।
हृदिस्थचेतनाधातुर्मनोज्ञाने विधीयते ॥३२॥
32. manasastu guṇaścintā prajñayā sa tu gṛhyate ,
hṛdisthacetanādhāturmanojñāne vidhīyate.
32. manasaḥ tu guṇaḥ cintā prajñayā saḥ tu gṛhyate
hṛdisthacetanadhātuḥ manojñāne vidhīyate
32. manasaḥ guṇaḥ cintā tu saḥ tu prajñayā gṛhyate
hṛdisthacetanadhātuḥ manojñāne vidhīyate
32. Thought is the essential quality of the mind, and it is perceived by intellect. The conscious element, residing in the heart, is constituted for the apprehension of mental processes.
बुद्धिरध्यवसायेन ध्यानेन च महांस्तथा ।
निश्चित्य ग्रहणं नित्यमव्यक्तं नात्र संशयः ॥३३॥
33. buddhiradhyavasāyena dhyānena ca mahāṁstathā ,
niścitya grahaṇaṁ nityamavyaktaṁ nātra saṁśayaḥ.
33. buddhiḥ adhyavasāyena dhyānena ca mahān tathā
niścitya grahaṇam nityam avyaktam na atra saṃśayaḥ
33. tathā mahān buddhiḥ adhyavasāyena dhyānena ca nityam avyaktam grahaṇam niścitya,
atra saṃśayaḥ na.
33. Thus, the great principle (mahat), through intellect, determination, and meditation (dhyāna), definitively ascertains the eternal unmanifest (prakṛti) as an object of apprehension. There is no doubt in this.
अलिङ्गग्रहणो नित्यः क्षेत्रज्ञो निर्गुणात्मकः ।
तस्मादलिङ्गः क्षेत्रज्ञः केवलं ज्ञानलक्षणः ॥३४॥
34. aliṅgagrahaṇo nityaḥ kṣetrajño nirguṇātmakaḥ ,
tasmādaliṅgaḥ kṣetrajñaḥ kevalaṁ jñānalakṣaṇaḥ.
34. aliṅgagrahaṇaḥ nityaḥ kṣetrajñaḥ nirguṇātmakaḥ
tasmāt aliṅgaḥ kṣetrajñaḥ kevalam jñānalakṣaṇaḥ
34. kṣetrajñaḥ aliṅgagrahaṇaḥ nityaḥ nirguṇātmakaḥ.
tasmāt kṣetrajñaḥ aliṅgaḥ kevalam jñānalakṣaṇaḥ.
34. The knower of the field (kṣetrajña) is eternal, not apprehended by distinguishing marks, and is by nature devoid of qualities (guṇas). Therefore, the knower of the field (kṣetrajña) is without distinguishing marks and is solely characterized by knowledge.
अव्यक्तं क्षेत्रमुद्दिष्टं गुणानां प्रभवाप्ययम् ।
सदा पश्याम्यहं लीनं विजानामि शृणोमि च ॥३५॥
35. avyaktaṁ kṣetramuddiṣṭaṁ guṇānāṁ prabhavāpyayam ,
sadā paśyāmyahaṁ līnaṁ vijānāmi śṛṇomi ca.
35. avyaktam kṣetram uddiṣṭam guṇānām prabhavāpyayam
sadā paśyāmi aham līnam vijānāmi śṛṇomi ca
35. avyaktam kṣetram guṇānām prabhavāpyayam uddiṣṭam.
aham sadā līnam (tat) paśyāmi,
vijānāmi ca śṛṇomi.
35. The unmanifest (prakṛti) is designated as the field, the origin and dissolution of the qualities (guṇas). I always perceive it as latent, I understand, and I hear (about it).
पुरुषस्तद्विजानीते तस्मात्क्षेत्रज्ञ उच्यते ।
गुणवृत्तं तथा कृत्स्नं क्षेत्रज्ञः परिपश्यति ॥३६॥
36. puruṣastadvijānīte tasmātkṣetrajña ucyate ,
guṇavṛttaṁ tathā kṛtsnaṁ kṣetrajñaḥ paripaśyati.
36. puruṣaḥ tat vijānīte tasmāt kṣetrajñaḥ ucyate
guṇavṛttam tathā kṛtsnam kṣetrajñaḥ paripaśyati
36. puruṣaḥ tat vijānīte.
tasmāt (saḥ) kṣetrajñaḥ ucyate.
tathā kṣetrajñaḥ kṛtsnam guṇavṛttam paripaśyati.
36. The cosmic person (puruṣa) knows that (field), and therefore he is called the knower of the field (kṣetrajña). Thus, the knower of the field (kṣetrajña) fully perceives the entire activity of the qualities (guṇas).
आदिमध्यावसानान्तं सृज्यमानमचेतनम् ।
न गुणा विदुरात्मानं सृज्यमानं पुनः पुनः ॥३७॥
37. ādimadhyāvasānāntaṁ sṛjyamānamacetanam ,
na guṇā vidurātmānaṁ sṛjyamānaṁ punaḥ punaḥ.
37. ādimadhyāvasānāntam sṛjyamānam acetanam na
guṇāḥ viduḥ ātmānam sṛjyamānam punaḥ punaḥ
37. guṇāḥ acetanam ādimadhyāvasānāntam
punaḥ punaḥ sṛjyamānam ātmānam na viduḥ
37. The constituents of nature (guṇas) do not know themselves (ātman), being unconscious, repeatedly manifested, and possessing a beginning, a middle, and an end.
न सत्यं वेद वै कश्चित्क्षेत्रज्ञस्त्वेव विन्दति ।
गुणानां गुणभूतानां यत्परं परतो महत् ॥३८॥
38. na satyaṁ veda vai kaścitkṣetrajñastveva vindati ,
guṇānāṁ guṇabhūtānāṁ yatparaṁ parato mahat.
38. na satyam veda vai kaścit kṣetrajñaḥ tu eva vindati
guṇānām guṇabhūtānām yat param parataḥ mahat
38. kaścit vai satyam na veda,
tu kṣetrajñaḥ eva guṇānām guṇabhūtānām yat param parataḥ mahat vindati
38. Indeed, no one knows the reality, but the knower of the field (kṣetrajña) alone understands that which is supreme, higher than the great (mahat) principle, and pertains to the constituents of nature and their transformations.
तस्माद्गुणांश्च तत्त्वं च परित्यज्येह तत्त्ववित् ।
क्षीणदोषो गुणान्हित्वा क्षेत्रज्ञं प्रविशत्यथ ॥३९॥
39. tasmādguṇāṁśca tattvaṁ ca parityajyeha tattvavit ,
kṣīṇadoṣo guṇānhitvā kṣetrajñaṁ praviśatyatha.
39. tasmāt guṇān ca tattvam ca parityajya iha tattvavit
kṣīṇadoṣaḥ guṇān hitvā kṣetrajñam praviśati atha
39. tasmāt iha tattvavit guṇān ca tattvam ca parityajya
kṣīṇadoṣaḥ guṇān hitvā atha kṣetrajñam praviśati
39. Therefore, the knower of reality, having abandoned the constituents of nature and (all other) fundamental principles in this world, with all imperfections diminished, then truly gives up the constituents of nature and merges into the knower of the field (kṣetrajña).
निर्द्वंद्वो निर्नमस्कारो निःस्वधाकार एव च ।
अचलश्चानिकेतश्च क्षेत्रज्ञः स परो विभुः ॥४०॥
40. nirdvaṁdvo nirnamaskāro niḥsvadhākāra eva ca ,
acalaścāniketaśca kṣetrajñaḥ sa paro vibhuḥ.
40. nirdvandvaḥ nirnamaskāraḥ niḥsvadhākāraḥ eva ca
acalaḥ ca aniketaḥ ca kṣetrajñaḥ saḥ paraḥ vibhuḥ
40. saḥ kṣetrajñaḥ paraḥ vibhuḥ nirdvandvaḥ nirnamaskāraḥ
niḥsvadhākāraḥ eva ca acalaḥ ca aniketaḥ ca
40. That knower of the field (kṣetrajña) is supreme and all-pervading. He is free from dualities, free from the need for salutations, and from ancestral offerings (svadhā); he is unmoving and without a fixed abode.
