भरद्वाज उवाच ।
जीवन्मुक्तस्थितिं व्रह्मन्कृत्वा राघवमादितः ।
क्रमात्कथय मे नित्यं भविष्यामि सुखी यथा ॥ १ ॥
bharadvāja uvāca ,
jīvanmuktasthitiṃ vrahmankṛtvā rāghavamāditaḥ ,
kramātkathaya me nityaṃ bhaviṣyāmi sukhī yathā 1
1. bharadvājaḥ uvāca jīvanmukta-sthitim brahman kṛtvā rāghavam
āditaḥ kramāt kathaya me nityam bhaviṣyāmi sukhī yathā
1. Bharadvāja said: "O venerable one (brahman)! Beginning with Rāghava, please narrate to me the state of a living liberated soul (jīvanmukta-sthiti) in sequence, so that I may always be happy."
श्रीवाल्मीकिरुवाच ।
भ्रमस्य जागतस्यास्य जातस्याकाशवर्णवत् ।
अपुनःस्मरणं मन्ये साधो विस्मरणं वरम् ॥ २ ॥
śrīvālmīkiruvāca ,
bhramasya jāgatasyāsya jātasyākāśavarṇavat ,
apunaḥsmaraṇaṃ manye sādho vismaraṇaṃ varam 2
2. śrīvālmīkiḥ uvāca bhramasya jāgatasya asya jātasya
ākāśa-varṇa-vat apunaḥsmaraṇam manye sādho vismaraṇam varam
2. Śrī Vālmīki said: "O good one (sādhu)! I believe that forgetting is better than non-recollection for this worldly illusion (bhrama) that has arisen, like a color in the sky."
दृश्यात्यन्ताभावबोधं विना तन्नानुभूयते ।
कदाचित्केनचिन्नाम स्वबोधोऽन्विष्यतामतः ॥ ३ ॥
dṛśyātyantābhāvabodhaṃ vinā tannānubhūyate ,
kadācitkenacinnāma svabodho'nviṣyatāmataḥ 3
3. dṛśya-atyanta-abhāva-bodham vinā tat na anubhūyate
kadācit kenacit nāma sva-bodhaḥ anviṣyatām ataḥ
3. Without the understanding of the absolute non-existence of the seen (world), that (illusion) is never experienced by anyone. Therefore, one's own self-knowledge should be sought.
स चेह संभवत्येव तदर्थमिदमाततम् ।
शास्त्रमाकर्णयसि चेत्तत्त्वमाप्स्यसि नान्यथा ॥ ४ ॥
sa ceha saṃbhavatyeva tadarthamidamātatam ,
śāstramākarṇayasi cettattvamāpsyasi nānyathā 4
4. saḥ ca iha saṃbhavati eva tat artham idam ātatam
śāstram ākarṇayasi cet tattvam āpsyasi na anyathā
4. That (liberation) is indeed possible in this very life. For that purpose, this extensive scripture is taught. If you listen to it carefully, you will attain the ultimate truth; otherwise, you will not.
जगद्भ्रमोऽयं दृश्योऽपि नास्त्येवेत्यनुभूयते ।
वर्णो व्योम्न इवाखेदाद्विचारेणामुनाऽनघ ॥ ५ ॥
jagadbhramo'yaṃ dṛśyo'pi nāstyevetyanubhūyate ,
varṇo vyomna ivākhedādvicāreṇāmunā'nagha 5
5. jagat bhramaḥ ayam dṛśyaḥ api na asti eva iti anubhūyate
varṇaḥ vyomnaḥ iva ākhedāt vicāreṇa amunā anagha
5. O sinless one (anagha), this delusion of the world (jagat), even though it appears visible, is experienced as truly non-existent. This is just like a color in the sky (a mirage or an illusion), through this tireless inquiry.
दृश्यं नास्तीति बोधेन मनसो दृश्यमार्जनम् ।
संपन्नं चेत्तदुत्पन्ना परा निर्वाणनिर्वृतिः ॥ ६ ॥
dṛśyaṃ nāstīti bodhena manaso dṛśyamārjanam ,
saṃpannaṃ cettadutpannā parā nirvāṇanirvṛtiḥ 6
6. dṛśyam na asti iti bodhena manasaḥ dṛśya-mārjanam
sampannam cet tat utpannā parā nirvāṇa-nirvṛtiḥ
6. If, through the understanding (bodha) that the visible (dṛśya) world does not truly exist, the mind's purification from all visible objects is achieved, then the supreme peace of final liberation (nirvāṇa) arises.
अन्यथा शास्त्रगर्तेषु लुठतां भवतामिह ।
भवत्यकृत्रिमाज्ञानां कल्पैरपि न निर्वृतिः ॥ ७ ॥
anyathā śāstragarteṣu luṭhatāṃ bhavatāmiha ,
bhavatyakṛtrimājñānāṃ kalpairapi na nirvṛtiḥ 7
7. anyathā śāstra-garteṣu luṭhatām bhavatām iha
bhavati akṛtrima-ajñānām kalpaiḥ api na nirvṛtiḥ
7. Otherwise, for you who wallow here in the deep pits of scriptures and whose ignorance is inherent, there will be no tranquility (nirvṛti) even for countless eons (kalpas).
अशेषेण परित्यागो वासनानां य उत्तमः ।
मोक्षं इत्युच्यते ब्रह्मन्स एव विमलक्रमः ॥ ८ ॥
aśeṣeṇa parityāgo vāsanānāṃ ya uttamaḥ ,
mokṣaṃ ityucyate brahmansa eva vimalakramaḥ 8
8. aśeṣeṇa parityāgaḥ vāsanānām yaḥ uttamaḥ
mokṣam iti ucyate brahman saḥ eva vimalakramaḥ
8. O Brahman, the complete and supreme abandonment of latent desires (vāsanā) is called liberation (mokṣa); that alone is the unblemished path.
क्षीणायां वासनायां तु चेतो गलति सत्वरम् ।
क्षीणायां शीतसंतत्यां ब्रह्मन्हिमकणो यथा ॥ ९ ॥
kṣīṇāyāṃ vāsanāyāṃ tu ceto galati satvaram ,
kṣīṇāyāṃ śītasaṃtatyāṃ brahmanhimakaṇo yathā 9
9. kṣīṇāyām vāsanāyām tu cetaḥ galati satvaram
kṣīṇāyām śītasaṃtatyām brahman himakaṇaḥ yathā
9. O Brahman, when latent desires (vāsanā) are exhausted, the mind quickly dissolves, just as a particle of ice melts when the intensity of cold (śītasaṃtati) diminishes.
अयं वासनया देहो ध्रियते भूतपञ्जरः ।
तनुनान्तर्निविष्टेन मुक्तौघस्तन्तुना यथा ॥ १० ॥
ayaṃ vāsanayā deho dhriyate bhūtapañjaraḥ ,
tanunāntarniviṣṭena muktaughastantunā yathā 10
10. ayam vāsanayā dehaḥ dhriyate bhūtapāñjaraḥ
tanunā antar-niviṣṭena muktaughaḥ tantunā yathā
10. This body, a cage of elements, is sustained by latent desires (vāsanā), just as a string of pearls (muktaugha) is held by a subtle thread (tantu) situated within.
वासना द्विविधा प्रोक्ता शुद्धा च मलिना तथा ।
मलिना जन्मनो हेतुः शुद्धा जन्मविनाशिनी ॥ ११ ॥
vāsanā dvividhā proktā śuddhā ca malinā tathā ,
malinā janmano hetuḥ śuddhā janmavināśinī 11
11. vāsanā dvividhā proktā śuddhā ca malinā tathā
malinā janmanaḥ hetuḥ śuddhā janmavināśinī
11. Latent desires (vāsanā) are said to be of two kinds: pure and impure. The impure (vāsanā) is the cause of rebirth, and the pure (vāsanā) is the destroyer of rebirth.
अज्ञानसुघनाकारा घनाहंकारशालिनी ।
पुनर्जन्मकरी प्रोक्ता मलिना वासना बुधैः ॥ १२ ॥
ajñānasughanākārā ghanāhaṃkāraśālinī ,
punarjanmakarī proktā malinā vāsanā budhaiḥ 12
12. ajñānasughanākārā ghanāhaṅkāraśālinī
punarjanmakarī proktā malinā vāsanā budhaiḥ
12. The wise declare that the impure (malina) latent impression (vāsanā) is that which is characterized by dense ignorance, possesses a strong sense of ego (ahaṅkāra), and causes rebirth (punarjanma).
पुनर्जन्माङ्कुरं त्यक्त्वा स्थिता संभृष्टबीजवत् ।
देहार्थं ध्रियते ज्ञातज्ञेया शुद्धेति चोच्यते ॥ १३ ॥
punarjanmāṅkuraṃ tyaktvā sthitā saṃbhṛṣṭabījavat ,
dehārthaṃ dhriyate jñātajñeyā śuddheti cocyate 13
13. punarjanmāṅkuram tyaktvā sthitā saṃbhraṣṭabījavat
dehārtham dhriyate jñātajñeyā śuddhā iti ca ucyate
13. A latent impression (vāsanā) that has abandoned the sprout of rebirth (punarjanma) and remains like a parched seed, yet is sustained for the sake of the body - for whom the knowable has been realized - is declared to be pure.
अपुनर्जन्मकरणी जीवन्मुक्तेषु देहिषु ।
वासना विद्यते शुद्धा देहे चक्र इव भ्रमः ॥ १४ ॥
apunarjanmakaraṇī jīvanmukteṣu dehiṣu ,
vāsanā vidyate śuddhā dehe cakra iva bhramaḥ 14
14. apunarjanmakaraṇī jīvanmukteṣu dehiṣu vāsanā
vidyate śuddhā dehe cakra iva bhramaḥ
14. Among embodied beings who are liberated while living (jīvanmukta), a pure latent impression (vāsanā) exists. This pure vāsanā does not cause rebirth (punarjanma), persisting in the body like the continued motion of a (spinning) wheel.
ये शुद्धवासना भूयो न जन्मानर्थभाजनम् ।
ज्ञातज्ञेयास्त उच्यन्ते जीवन्मुक्ता महाधियः ॥ १५ ॥
ye śuddhavāsanā bhūyo na janmānarthabhājanam ,
jñātajñeyāsta ucyante jīvanmuktā mahādhiyaḥ 15
15. ye śuddhāvāsanā bhūyaḥ na janmānarthabhājanam
jñātajñeyāḥ te ucyante jīvanmuktāḥ mahādhiyaḥ
15. Those whose latent impressions (vāsanā) are pure do not become receptacles for the evil of rebirth (punarjanma) again. These are the great-minded ones for whom the knowable has been realized, and they are called liberated while living (jīvanmukta).
जीवन्मुक्तिपदं प्राप्तो यथा रामो महामतिः ।
तत्तेऽहं शृणु वक्ष्याभि जरामरणशान्तये ॥ १६ ॥
jīvanmuktipadaṃ prāpto yathā rāmo mahāmatiḥ ,
tatte'haṃ śṛṇu vakṣyābhi jarāmaraṇaśāntaye 16
16. jīvanmuktipadam prāptaḥ yathā rāmaḥ mahāmatiḥ
tat te aham śṛṇu vakṣyābhi jarāmaraṇaśāntaye
16. Just as the great-minded Rama attained the state of living liberation (mokṣa), I will explain that to you for the cessation of old age and death. Listen!
भरद्वाज महाबुद्धे रामक्रममिमं शुभम् ।
शृणु वक्ष्यामि तेनैव सर्वं ज्ञास्यसि सर्वदा ॥ १७ ॥
bharadvāja mahābuddhe rāmakramamimaṃ śubham ,
śṛṇu vakṣyāmi tenaiva sarvaṃ jñāsyasi sarvadā 17
17. bharadvāja mahābudhe rāmakramam imam śubham
śṛṇu vakṣyāmi tena eva sarvam jñāsyasi sarvadā
17. O Bharadvaja, greatly intelligent one, listen! I will tell you about this auspicious path of Rama. Through this, you will always know everything.
विद्यागृहाद्विनिष्क्रम्य रामो राजीवलोचनः ।
दिवसान्यनयद्गेहे लीलाभिरकुतोभयः ॥ १८ ॥
vidyāgṛhādviniṣkramya rāmo rājīvalocanaḥ ,
divasānyanayadgehe līlābhirakutobhayaḥ 18
18. vidyāgṛhāt viniṣkramya rāmaḥ rājīvalocanaḥ
divasān anayāt gehe līlābhiḥ akutobhayaḥ
18. Having come forth from the house of learning, Rama, whose eyes were like lotuses, spent his days at home in playful activities, free from all fear.
अथ गच्छति काले तु पालयत्यवनिं नृपे ।
प्रजासु वीतशोकासु स्थितासु विगतज्वरम् ॥ १९ ॥
atha gacchati kāle tu pālayatyavaniṃ nṛpe ,
prajāsu vītaśokāsu sthitāsu vigatajvaram 19
19. atha gacchati kāle tu pālayati avanim nṛpe
prajāsu vītaśokāsu sthitāsu vigatajvaram
19. Then, as time passed, while the king ruled the earth, his subjects remained free from sorrow and distress.
तीर्थपुण्याश्रमश्रेणीर्द्रष्टुमुत्कण्ठितं मनः ।
रामस्याभूद्भृशं तत्र कदाचिद्गुणशालिनः ॥ २० ॥
tīrthapuṇyāśramaśreṇīrdraṣṭumutkaṇṭhitaṃ manaḥ ,
rāmasyābhūdbhṛśaṃ tatra kadācidguṇaśālinaḥ 20
20. tīrthapuṇyāśramaśreṇīḥ draṣṭum utkaṇṭhitam manaḥ
rāmasya abhūt bhṛśam tatra kadācit guṇaśālinaḥ
20. One day, the mind (manas) of the virtuous Rāma became exceedingly eager to see rows of sacred places (tīrtha) and holy hermitages (āśrama).
राघवश्चिन्तयित्वैवमुपेत्य चरणौ पितुः ।
हंसः पद्माविव नवौ जग्राह नखकेसरौ ॥ २१ ॥
rāghavaścintayitvaivamupetya caraṇau pituḥ ,
haṃsaḥ padmāviva navau jagrāha nakhakesarau 21
21. rāghavaḥ cintayitvā evam upetya caraṇau pituḥ
haṃsaḥ padmā iva navau jagrāha nakhakesarau
21. Having thought thus, Rāghava approached his father's feet. He took hold of his father's feet, which had nails like stamens, just as a swan grasps two fresh lotuses.
श्रीराम उवाच ।
तीर्थानि देवसद्मानि वनान्यायतनानि च ।
द्रष्टुमुत्कण्ठितं तात ममेदं नाथ मानसम् ॥ २२ ॥
śrīrāma uvāca ,

22. śrīrāmaḥ uvāca tīrthāni devasadmāni vanāni āyatanāni
ca draṣṭum utkaṇṭhitam tāta mama idam nātha mānasam
22. Śrī Rāma said: "Dear father (tāta), O Lord (nātha), this mind (manas) of mine is eager to see sacred places (tīrtha), abodes of gods, forests, and sanctuaries."
तदेतामर्थितां पूर्वां सफलां कर्तुमर्हसि ।
न सोऽस्ति भुवने नाथ त्वया योऽर्थी न मानितः ॥ २३ ॥
tadetāmarthitāṃ pūrvāṃ saphalāṃ kartumarhasi ,
na so'sti bhuvane nātha tvayā yo'rthī na mānitaḥ 23
23. tat etām arthitām pūrvām saphalām kartum arhasi na
saḥ asti bhuvane nātha tvayā yaḥ arthī na mānitaḥ
23. Therefore, you ought to fulfill this previous request. O Lord (nātha), there is no petitioner in the world who has not been honored by you.
इति संप्रार्थितो राजा वसिष्ठेन समं तदा ।
विचार्यामुञ्चदेवैनं रामं प्रथममर्थिनम् ॥ २४ ॥
iti saṃprārthito rājā vasiṣṭhena samaṃ tadā ,

24. iti samprārthitaḥ rājā vasiṣṭhena samam tadā
vicārya amuñcat eva enam rāmam prathamam arthinam
24. Thus entreated, the king then, along with Vasiṣṭha, reflected and released him, Rāma, who was the first supplicant.
शुभे नक्षत्रदिवसे भ्रातृभ्यां सह राघवः ।
मङ्गलालंकृतवपुः कृतस्वस्त्ययनो द्विजैः ॥ २५ ॥

lājavarṣaiḥ vikīrṇa ātmā himaiḥ iva himācalaḥ
29. His person was covered by showers of parched grain, scattered by the restless, lotus-like hands of the village women, just as the Himalaya mountains are covered by snow.
