मन्त्रिणा सह भूपालस्तस्मिन्नवसरे तदा ॥ १६ ॥

मूढावेतावनात्मज्ञौ भारो देहः किलानयोः ॥ १९ ॥
atha sā cintayāmāsa labdho bhakṣo hyaho mayā ,
mūḍhāvetāvanātmajñau bhāro dehaḥ kilānayoḥ 19
19. atha sā cintayāmāsa labdhaḥ bhakṣaḥ hi aho mayā
mūḍhau etau anātmajñau bhāraḥ dehaḥ kila anayoḥ
19. atha sā cintayāmāsa: aho hi mayā bhakṣaḥ labdhaḥ! etau mūḍhau anātmajñau,
anayoḥ dehaḥ kila bhāraḥ (asti)
19. Then she thought, "Ah, indeed, I have found my prey! These two are fools, ignorant of their true (ātman) selves, and their bodies are certainly a burden to them."
इहामुत्र च नाशाय मूढो दुःखाय जीवति ।
यत्नाद्विनाशनीयोऽसौ नानर्थः परिपाल्यते ॥ २० ॥
ihāmutra ca nāśāya mūḍho duḥkhāya jīvati ,

yatnāt vināśanīyaḥ asau na anarthaḥ paripālyate ||
20. mūḍhaḥ iha amutra ca nāśāya duḥkhāya jīvati asau yatnāt vināśanīyaḥ,
anarthaḥ na paripālyate
20. A foolish person lives a life that brings about ruin and suffering, both in this world and the next. Such a person should be diligently eliminated, for one does not preserve something that is harmful.
अपश्यतः स्वमात्मानं मृतिर्मूढस्य जीवितम् ।
मरणेनोदयोऽस्यास्ति पापासंपत्तिहेतुतः ॥ २१ ॥
apaśyataḥ svamātmānaṃ mṛtirmūḍhasya jīvitam ,
maraṇenodayo'syāsti pāpāsaṃpattihetutaḥ 21
21. apaśyataḥ svam ātmānam mṛtiḥ mūḍhasya jīvitam |
maraṇena udayaḥ asya asti pāpāsaṃpattihetutaḥ ||
21. svam ātmānam apaśyataḥ mūḍhasya jīvitam mṛtiḥ (asti)
asya maraṇena udayaḥ asti pāpāsaṃpattihetutaḥ
21. For a foolish person who does not perceive their own true self (ātman), their 'life' is akin to death. Indeed, for such a one, there is a rise (or benefit) through death, because it prevents the further accumulation of sins.
आदिसर्गे च नियमः कृतः पङ्कजजन्मना ।
हिंस्राणां भोजनायास्तु मूढात्मानात्मवानिति ॥ २२ ॥
ādisarge ca niyamaḥ kṛtaḥ paṅkajajanmanā ,
hiṃsrāṇāṃ bhojanāyāstu mūḍhātmānātmavāniti 22
22. ādi sarge ca niyamaḥ kṛtaḥ paṅkajajanmanā |
hiṃsrāṇām bhojanāya astu mūḍhātmā anātmavān iti ||
22. ādi sarge ca paṅkajajanmanā niyamaḥ kṛtaḥ (yat)
mūḍhātmā anātmavān hiṃsrāṇām bhojanāya astu iti
22. Furthermore, at the very beginning of creation, a rule was established by Brahma (the lotus-born): that those who are foolish and devoid of a true self (ātman) shall serve as food for predatory beings.
तस्मादिमौ मयैवाद्य भोक्तव्यौ भोज्यतां गतौ ।
अभव्य एव निर्दोषं प्राप्तमर्थमुपेक्षते ॥ २३ ॥
tasmādimau mayaivādya bhoktavyau bhojyatāṃ gatau ,
abhavya eva nirdoṣaṃ prāptamarthamupekṣate 23
23. tasmāt imau mayā eva adya bhoktavyau bhojyatām gatau
| abhavyaḥ eva nirdoṣam prāptam artham upekṣate ||
23. tasmāt imau bhojyatām gatau mayā eva adya bhoktavyau
abhavyaḥ eva nirdoṣam prāptam artham upekṣate
23. Therefore, since these two (referring to the foolish, soulless beings) have become fit for consumption, they shall indeed be eaten by me today. Truly, only an unworthy person would disregard a blameless and readily available opportunity.
कदाचित्ताविमौ स्यातां गुणयुक्तौ महाशयौ ।
तादृङ्न रविनाशो हि स्वभावान्मे न रोचते ॥ २४ ॥
kadācittāvimau syātāṃ guṇayuktau mahāśayau ,
tādṛṅna ravināśo hi svabhāvānme na rocate 24
24. kadācit tau imau syātām guṇayuktau mahāśayau
tādṛṅ na ravināśaḥ hi svabhāvāt me na rocate
24. kadācit imau tau guṇayuktau mahāśayau syātām.
hi tādṛṅ ravināśaḥ me svabhāvāt na rocate.
24. Perhaps these two might be noble-minded and endowed with good qualities. Indeed, such a catastrophic destruction (as if the sun itself were destroyed) does not please me by nature.
तदेतौ संपरीक्षेऽहं यदि तादृग्गुणान्वितौ ।
तद्भक्षं न करोम्येतौ न हिंस्या गुणिनः क्वचित् ॥ २५ ॥
tadetau saṃparīkṣe'haṃ yadi tādṛgguṇānvitau ,
tadbhakṣaṃ na karomyetau na hiṃsyā guṇinaḥ kvacit 25
25. tad etau samparīkṣe aham yadi tādṛk guṇānvitau tat
bhakṣam na karomi etau na hiṃsyāḥ guṇinaḥ kvacit
25. tad aham etau sampareekṣe,
yadi (etau) tādṛk guṇānvitau (syātām).
tat etau bhakṣam na karomi.
hi guṇinaḥ kvacit na hiṃsyāḥ.
25. Therefore, I shall test these two, to see if they are indeed endowed with such qualities. If so, I will not make them my prey, for one should never harm those who possess good qualities.
अकृत्रिमं सुखं कीर्तिमायुश्चैवाभिवाञ्छता ।
सर्वाभिमतदानेन पूजनीया गुणान्विताः ॥ २६ ॥
akṛtrimaṃ sukhaṃ kīrtimāyuścaivābhivāñchatā ,
sarvābhimatadānena pūjanīyā guṇānvitāḥ 26
26. akṛtrimam sukham kīrtim āyuḥ ca eva abhivāñchatā
sarva abhimata dānena pūjanīyāḥ guṇānvitāḥ
26. akṛtrimam sukham kīrtim āyuḥ ca eva abhivāñchatā (puruṣeṇa),
guṇānvitāḥ sarvābhimatadānena pūjanīyāḥ.
26. By one who truly desires genuine happiness, fame, and long life, those endowed with good qualities should be honored by the giving of all desired things (dāna).
अपि नङ्क्ष्यामि देहेन नैव भोक्ष्ये गुणान्वितम् ।
सुखयन्ति हि चेतांसि जीवितादपि साधवः ॥ २७ ॥
api naṅkṣyāmi dehena naiva bhokṣye guṇānvitam ,
sukhayanti hi cetāṃsi jīvitādapi sādhavaḥ 27
27. api naṅkṣyāmi dehena na eva bhokṣye guṇānvitam
sukhayanti hi cetāṃsi jīvitāt api sādhavaḥ
27. api dehena naṅkṣyāmi,
eva guṇānvitam na bhokṣye.
hi sādhavaḥ cetāṃsi jīvitāt api sukhayanti.
27. Even if I perish with this body, I will certainly not prey on one endowed with good qualities. For virtuous individuals indeed gladden minds even more than life itself.
अपि जीवितदानेन गुणिनं परिपालयेत् ।
गुणवत्संगमौषध्या मृत्युरप्येति मित्रताम् ॥ २८ ॥
api jīvitadānena guṇinaṃ paripālayet ,
guṇavatsaṃgamauṣadhyā mṛtyurapyeti mitratām 28
28. api jīvitadānena guṇinam paripālayet
guṇavatsaṅgamauṣadhyā mṛtyuḥ api eti mitratām
28. api jīvitadānena guṇinam paripālayet
guṇavatsaṅgamauṣadhyā mṛtyuḥ api mitratām eti
28. One should protect a virtuous person even by sacrificing one's own life. For, through the remedy (auṣadhyā) of associating with virtuous people, even death (mṛtyuḥ) itself attains friendship.
यत्राहमपि रक्षामि राक्षसी गुणशालिनम् ।
तत्रान्यः को न कुर्यात्तं हृदि हारमिवामलम् ॥ २९ ॥
yatrāhamapi rakṣāmi rākṣasī guṇaśālinam ,
tatrānyaḥ ko na kuryāttaṃ hṛdi hāramivāmalam 29
29. yatra aham api rakṣāmi rākṣasī guṇaśālinam tatra
anyaḥ kaḥ na kuryāt tam hṛdi hāram iva amalam
29. yatra rākṣasī aham api guṇaśālinam rakṣāmi tatra
anyaḥ kaḥ tam hṛdi amalam hāram iva na kuryāt
29. If even I, a demoness (rākṣasī), protect a virtuous person, then who else would not cherish him in their heart as a pure necklace?
उदारगुणयुक्ता ये विहरन्तीह देहिनः ।
धरातलेन्दवः सङ्गाद्भृशं शीतलयन्ति ते ॥ ३० ॥
udāraguṇayuktā ye viharantīha dehinaḥ ,
dharātalendavaḥ saṅgādbhṛśaṃ śītalayanti te 30
30. udāraguṇayuktāḥ ye viharanti iha dehinaḥ
dharātala-indavaḥ saṅgāt bhṛśam śītalayanti te
30. ye udāraguṇayuktāḥ dehinaḥ iha viharanti te
dharātala-indavaḥ saṅgāt bhṛśam śītalayanti
30. Those embodied beings (dehinaḥ) who dwell in this world, endowed with noble qualities, are like moons on the surface of the earth; through their association, they bring great coolness.
मृतिर्गुणितिरस्कारो जीवितं गुणिसंश्रयः ।
फलं स्वर्गापवर्गादि जीविताद्गुणिसंश्रितात् ॥ ३१ ॥
mṛtirguṇitiraskāro jīvitaṃ guṇisaṃśrayaḥ ,
phalaṃ svargāpavargādi jīvitādguṇisaṃśritāt 31
31. mṛtiḥ guṇi-tiraskāraḥ jīvitam guṇi-saṃśrayaḥ
phalam svarga-apavarga-ādi jīvitāt guṇi-saṃśritāt
31. mṛtiḥ guṇi-tiraskāraḥ jīvitam guṇi-saṃśrayaḥ
svarga-apavarga-ādi phalam guṇi-saṃśritāt jīvitāt
31. Death (mṛti) is characterized by the disrespect (tiraskāra) shown to the virtuous, whereas life (jīvita) is found in taking refuge (saṃśraya) in the virtuous. Results like heaven (svarga) and final liberation (mokṣa), among others, spring from a life spent in the company or service of the virtuous.
तस्मादिमौ परीक्षेऽहं कयाचित्प्रश्नलीलया ।
किंमात्रज्ञानकावेताविति तामरसेक्षणौ ॥ ३२ ॥
tasmādimau parīkṣe'haṃ kayācitpraśnalīlayā ,
kiṃmātrajñānakāvetāviti tāmarasekṣaṇau 32
32. tasmāt imau parīkṣe aham kayācit praśnalīlayā
kimātrakajñānakau etau iti tāmarasekṣaṇau
32. aham tasmāt praśnalīlayā kayācit imau etau
kimātrakajñānakau iti tāmarasekṣaṇau parīkṣe
32. Therefore, I will test these two lotus-eyed youths with some playful questions to ascertain the extent of their knowledge.
आदौ विचार्य सगुणागुणलेशयुक्तिं पश्चात्स्वतोऽधिकतरं च गुणैर्यदि स्यात् ।
कुर्यात्ततः समुपपत्तिवशेन दण्डं दड्यस्य युक्तिसदृशं घनसंभवेन ॥ ३३ ॥
ādau vicārya saguṇāguṇaleśayuktiṃ paścātsvato'dhikataraṃ ca guṇairyadi syāt ,
kuryāttataḥ samupapattivaśena daṇḍaṃ daḍyasya yuktisadṛśaṃ ghanasaṃbhavena 33
33. ādau vicārya saguṇāguṇaleśayuktim paścāt
svataḥ adhikataraṃ ca guṇaiḥ yadi syāt
kuryāt tataḥ samupapattivaśena daṇḍam
daṇḍyasya yuktisadṛśam ghanasaṃbhavena
33. ādau saguṇāguṇaleśayuktim vicārya paścāt
yadi svataḥ ca guṇaiḥ adhikataraṃ syāt
tataḥ samupapattivaśena daṇḍyasya
yuktisadṛśam ghanasaṃbhavena daṇḍam kuryāt
33. First, one should carefully consider the justification for even a trace of good and bad qualities. Afterwards, if one (the judge) is inherently superior in qualities, then, based on proper evidence, one should inflict punishment that is appropriate to the offense of the guilty, and is executed with strong certainty.
