34. Apart from mere ideation (saṅkalpa), nothing whatsoever exists here. Due to the power of ideation (saṅkalpa), something either exists, or does not exist, or simply exists as such.
द्यौः क्षमा वायुराकाशं पर्वताः सरितो दिशः ।
संकल्पकचितं सर्वमेवं स्वप्नवदात्मनः ॥ ३५ ॥
dyauḥ kṣamā vāyurākāśaṃ parvatāḥ sarito diśaḥ ,
saṃkalpakacitaṃ sarvamevaṃ svapnavadātmanaḥ 35
35. dyauḥ kṣamā vāyuḥ ākāśam parvatāḥ saritaḥ diśaḥ |
saṅkalpakacitam sarvam evam svapnavat ātmanaḥ ||
35. dyauḥ kṣamā vāyuḥ ākāśam parvatāḥ saritaḥ diśaḥ
sarvam evam saṅkalpakacitam ātmanaḥ svapnavat
35. Heaven, earth, wind, space, mountains, rivers, directions - all of this is merely woven by ideation (saṅkalpa), existing for the self (ātman) just like a dream.
राजपुत्रास्त्रयो नद्यो भविष्यन्नगरे यथा ।
यथा संकल्परचना तथेयं हि जगत्स्थितिः ॥ ३६ ॥
rājaputrāstrayo nadyo bhaviṣyannagare yathā ,
yathā saṃkalparacanā tatheyaṃ hi jagatsthitiḥ 36
36. rājaputrāḥ trayaḥ nadyaḥ bhaviṣyat-nagare yathā |
yathā saṅkalpa-racanā tathā iyam hi jagat-sthitiḥ ||
36. yathā bhaviṣyat-nagare trayaḥ rājaputrāḥ nadyaḥ,
tathā iyam hi jagat-sthitiḥ saṅkalpa-racanā
36. Just as there can be three princes and rivers in a city yet to exist (a city conceived in imagination), so too is this state of the world (jagat) merely a construct of ideation (saṅkalpa).
संकल्पमात्रमभितः परिस्फुरति चञ्चलः ।
पयोमात्रात्मकोऽम्भोधिरम्भसीवात्मनात्मनि ॥ ३७ ॥
saṃkalpamātramabhitaḥ parisphurati cañcalaḥ ,
payomātrātmako'mbhodhirambhasīvātmanātmani 37
37. saṅkalpamātram abhitaḥ parisphurati cañcalaḥ |
payo-mātrātmakaḥ ambu-odhiḥ ambasi iva ātmanā ātmani ||
37. cañcalaḥ saṅkalpamātram abhitaḥ parisphurati
payo-mātrātmakaḥ ambu-odhiḥ ātmanā ātmani ambasi iva
37. The restless mind or consciousness (cañcalaḥ) pulsates everywhere as mere ideation (saṅkalpa). It is like an ocean (ambhodhi) whose essence is merely water, existing by the self (ātman) within the self (ātman), just as an ocean exists within water.
संकल्पमात्रं प्रथममुत्थितं परमात्मनः ।
तदिदं स्फारतां यातं व्यापारैर्दिवसं यथा ॥ ३८ ॥
saṃkalpamātraṃ prathamamutthitaṃ paramātmanaḥ ,
tadidaṃ sphāratāṃ yātaṃ vyāpārairdivasaṃ yathā 38
38. saṅkalpamātram prathamam utthitam paramātmanaḥ
tat idam sphāratām yātam vyāpāraiḥ divasam yathā
38. paramātmanaḥ prathamam saṅkalpamātram utthitam
tat idam vyāpāraiḥ divasam yathā sphāratām yātam
38. The first intention (saṅkalpa) that arose from the supreme Self (paramātman) - this very intention has attained vast expansion through various activities, just as a day unfolds.
संकल्पजालकलनैव जगत्समग्रं संकल्पमेव ननु विद्धि विलासचेत्यम् ।
संकल्पमात्रमलमुत्सृज निर्विकल्पमाश्रित्य निश्चयमवाप्नुहि राम शान्तिम् ॥ ३९ ॥
saṃkalpajālakalanaiva jagatsamagraṃ saṃkalpameva nanu viddhi vilāsacetyam ,
saṃkalpamātramalamutsṛja nirvikalpamāśritya niścayamavāpnuhi rāma śāntim 39
39. saṅkalpajālākalanā eva jagat samagram
saṅkalpam eva nanu viddhi vilāsacetyam
saṅkalpamātram alam utsṛja nirvikalpam
āśritya niścayam avāpnuhi rāma śāntim
39. rāma jagat samagram saṅkalpajālākalanā
eva nanu (etat) saṅkalpam eva vilāsacetyam
viddhi alam saṅkalpamātram utsṛja
nirvikalpam āśritya niścayam śāntim avāpnuhi
39. The entire world is nothing but the manifestation of a network of intentions (saṅkalpa); indeed, know that this entire world is merely an intention (saṅkalpa), an object of playful manifestation. Enough of this mere intention (saṅkalpa)! Abandon it, O Rama, and by taking refuge in the thought-free state (nirvikalpa), attain certainty and peace.
