1. śrīrāmaḥ uvāca bhagavan mahātman
evam pare brahmaṇi eva sthite
vidyamāne abhitticitrarūpāyāḥ sṛṣṭeḥ
āgamaḥ kutaḥ eva iti kathaya
1. Śrī Rāma said: O Revered One, since the Supreme Brahman (brahman) alone thus exists, from where does the origin of creation, which resembles a painting without a wall or canvas, arise? Please explain this, O great soul (mahātman).
1. רָאמָה אמר: מורה מבורך, כשהבְּרַהְמַן העליון הוא המציאות היחידה הקיימת, מניין נוצרת הבריאה הזו, המדמה ציור שצויר ללא קיר? אמור לי, אדם דגול!

brahmatattvam eva āvartate
yasmāt tat sarvaśakti tat tasmāt
sarvāḥ śaktayaḥ brahmaṇi dṛśyante
2. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: O Prince, it is indeed this very essence of Brahman (brahman) that manifests itself. Since that [Brahman (brahman)] possesses all power (śakti), therefore all powers (śakti) are observed within Brahman (brahman).
2. וַסִישְׁטְהַ המבורך אמר: נסיך, רק אמת הַבְּרַהְמַן מתגלה וסובבת כאן. כיוון שהיא בעלת כל העוצמות, כל העוצמות נראות בתוך הַבְּרַהְמַן.

4. tat ca na anyat yathā jalarāśeḥ jalāśayaḥ

4. That (supreme reality) is not distinct from anything else. Just as a reservoir, originating from a vast body of water, manifests various forms with joyful exuberance, coming into perceptible existence.
4. ואין זה דבר אחר. בדיוק כפי המון מים באגם, שבמשחק נחשוליו וגלגליו מציג צורות מגוונות ויוצא אל הפועל...

5. Similarly, the compact mass of consciousness (ciddhana), having perceived the mind, thereby gathers, displays, sustains, generates, and dissolves all powers (śakti) – those consisting of action (karma), those consisting of latent impressions (vāsanā), and those consisting of mind.
5. כך גם התודעה הטהורה והדחוסה, מתוך פעולת החשיבה, מקבצת, מראה, מכלכלת, יוצרת ומעלימה את כל העוצמות העשויות מפעולות עבר (קַרְמַה), מנטיות סמויות וממחשבות.

6. The origin of all beings (jīva), of all perceptions, and of all complete phenomena (padārtha) is unceasingly from Brahman (brahman).
6. מוצאם של כל היצורים החיים, של כל המראות המסביב ושל כל החפצים נובע ללא הרף מהַבְּרַהְמַן.

7. They (all phenomena) emerge from the supreme realm and fully merge into that consciousness (cit). Indeed, they are continuously composed of that (reality), just like waves in an ocean.
7. הם נובעים מהמישור העליון וחוזרים ונבלעים בו מתוך טבע החשיבה; הם עשויים ממנו תמיד, כמו גלים באוקיינוס.

8. Śrīrāma said: O Lord, this expression of yours is extremely profound. Indeed, I do not understand the meaning of your statement today.
8. רָאמָה אמר: מורה מבורך, דבריך עמוקים ומורכבים ביותר, וכרגע איני מבין לחלוטין את משמעות הדברים.

9. Where, indeed, is the reality of (brahman) that transcends the functions of the mind and senses, and where is this perishable abundance of objects (padārtha) born from that (brahman)? Such is the composition of your statement. Yet, if this creation (ārambha) has originated from (brahman), then it must certainly be similar to it.
9. היכן נמצאת אמת הַבְּרַהְמַן, המעבר לפעילות החשיבה וששת החושים, והיכן שפע החפצים השברירי הזה שנאמר עליו שנולד ממנה? ואם הבריאה הזו נבעה מהַבְּרַהְמַן, הרי שהיה עליה להיות דומה לו!

11. כמו נר הנדלק מנר, אדם שנולד מאדם, או תבואה הצומחת מתבואה.

12. That which has originated from the changeless (nirvikāra) must itself be changeless.
12. כיוון שזה נבע ממקור חסר שינוי, מן הראוי היה שגם זה יהיה חסר שינוי.

13. Now, having heard [the argument] that, apart from this [changeless reality], the conscious self (ātman) and the stainless supreme Lord (parameśvara) are subject to blemish (kalaṅkāpatti), the venerable sage (brahmarṣi) spoke.
13. כששמע על הקושי הזה – כיצד נפלה פגם כזה בעצמי הטהור ובאל העליון נטול הכתם – אמר הַבְּרַהְמַרְשִׁי המבורך:

14. anagha! idam brahma eva sthitam nāma.
iha malam na asti.
sindhau ambhaḥ taraṅga ogha gaṇaiḥ sphurati,
u rajaḥ na.
14. This [reality] is indeed Brahman (brahman) in its true state; there is no blemish (mala) here, O sinless one (anagha)! Just as water in the ocean manifests with multitudes of waves, but no dust (rajas) appears there.
14. הבְּרַהְמַן לבדו קיים כאן, הו איש ללא חטא, ואין פגם כלל. באוקיינוס נראים נחשולי גלים של מים, ולא עפר.

15. Here (iha), O upholder of Raghu's line (raghūdvaha), a second conception (kalpanā) indeed does not exist, apart from Brahman (brahman) alone; just as in fire, there is nothing apart from heat alone.
15. כל מציאות שנייה כאן אינה אלא דמיון, גדול בני רָאגְהוּ; אין דבר מלבד הַבְּרַהְמַן בלבד, כשם שאין באש דבר מלבד החום עצמו.

16. śrīrāma uvāca brahma nirduḥkham nirdvandvam tat-jam jagat

16. Śrī Rāma said: The absolute reality (brahman) is free from sorrow and duality. Yet, this world (jagat), born from that (brahman), is full of sorrow. O revered teacher, I do not understand this statement of yours; its meaning is unclear to me.
16. רָאמָה אמר: הַבְּרַהְמַן חופשי מסבל ומעבר לניגודים, ואילו העולם הנולד ממנו מלא סבל. דבריך אלה עמומים בעיניי, קדוש, ואיני מבין אותם.

18. His (Rāma's) understanding (mati) has not yet attained its ultimate development. It has indeed achieved some purity, but it is still being carried along in this particular subject (or reality).
18. מחשבתו עדיין לא הגיעה להתרחבות המלאה; אף שהשיגה זיכוך מסוים, היא עודנה מתלבטת בנוגע למציאות הזו.

19. For one whose mind (manas) is discerning, who is wise (dhīmat), who has known what is to be known, and who, through discrimination (viveka), has reached the culmination (pāra) of the words concerning the means to final liberation (mokṣa) - (for such a one... the following applies, implied in the next verse).

yāvat na uktam,

20. No fault belongs to anyone; indeed, there is no insufficiency in the Self (ātman) which is knowledge. As long as this (truth) is not explained, Rāghava does not attain tranquility.
20. אין כל פגם בשום דבר, שהרי הידע היציב שוכן בעצמי; אך כל עוד לא יוסבר לו הדבר, בן רָאגְהוּ זה לא ימצא מנוחה.

anayā dṛśyā bhogadṛśā eva bhāvayan naśyati.
21. But for one whose intellect is only partially developed, this (truth) does not become clear. Such a person perishes by contemplating this visible world merely as an object of enjoyment.
21. אך עבור מי שתבונתו התעוררה רק למחצה, חשיפת אמת זו בגלוי אינה נכונה; אם יתבונן בעולם מתוך תפיסה הבוחנת תענוגות, הוא יסבול מאבדן.

sarvam brahma iti siddhāntaḥ asya kāle nāma yujyate.
22. For one who has attained the supreme vision, the desire for enjoyment does not arise. The doctrine, 'All is brahman (brahman)', is indeed rightly applied to him in due course.
22. במי שהגיע לראייה העליונה, התשוקה לתענוגות אינה מתעוררת עוד. המסקנה ש"הכל הוא בְּרַהְמַן" מתאימה לו רק בזמן הנכון.

23. Initially, one should purify the disciple with qualities like tranquility and self-restraint. Afterwards, one should instruct (him), 'All this is brahman (brahman), and you are pure (brahman).'
23. בראשית יש לזכך את התלמיד באמצעות מידות טובות כמו שקט נפשי ושליטה עצמית; ורק לאחר מכן ללמדו: כל זה הוא בְּרַהְמַן, ואתה טהור.

24. Whoever, being ignorant or only partially enlightened, declares that 'all is brahman (brahman),' is thereby entangled in the nets of great hells.

25. For a great soul (mahātman) whose intellect is awakened, whose desire for enjoyment is diminished, and who is free from expectations, it is proper to declare that there is no stain of ignorance (avidyā).
25. לאדם דגול שתבונתו התעוררה במלואה, שתשוקתו לתענוגות דעכה והוא נטול ציפיות, ראוי לומר: אין כל רבב של בורות.

30. Just as you observe magicians (aindrajālinaḥ) creating diverse phenomena through their wondrous illusion (māyā), causing existent things to become non-existent and non-existent things to come into being, similarly, the Self (ātman) - though not inherently illusory (amāyāmaya) - acts as if it were illusory, like the supreme magician (parama aindrajālikaḥ). It transforms a pot into a cloth and a cloth into a pot. It creates a creeper on a stone, much like a Nandanavana (a heavenly garden) on the golden slopes of Mount Meru. It produces a stone on a creeper, as if a cluster of jewels (ratnastabaka) on wish-fulfilling trees (kalpapādapa). It implants a forest in the sky.
30. כפי שאתה רואה קוסמים המחוללים מעשים מופלאים באמצעות אשליה, הופכים את הקיים לבלתי קיים ואת הבלתי קיים לקיים, כך גם העצמי, אף שאינו עשוי אשליה, פועל כקוסם עליון: הוא הופך כד לבגד ובגד לכד, מצמיח מטפס על אבן ובורא אבן על מטפס, כשם שבגן נַנְדַנַה על מדרונות הזהב של הר מֵרוּ, או כפי שהוא מלביש יער בשמיים כמו צרור גמציים על עצי משאלות.

31. In that [sky], a garden (kānana) will appear, like a Gandharva garden (gandharvodyāna). It creates a city in the sky through mere imagination (kalpanā). Like invisible collyrium (añjana), it transforms the sky into the ground.
31. כמו גן שמימי בעולם העתידי, הוא בורא בדמיונו עיר בשמיים, ומוריד את הרקיע אל פני האדמה כמו תכשיר איפור שאיבד את צלו.

39. את התופעות הללו יוצר העצמי במלאכתו, ואינו דוחה את מה שנוצר, בדיוק כפי שהאוקיינוס יוצר את גליו ואינו דוחה אותם.

45. In ultimate reality (paramārthataḥ), the Lord (Bhagavān) remains faultless in the perceptions of all beings.

51. O liberated one, having severed this tree called saṃsāra - which has the form of budding hopes, is rendered ultimately futile by terrible sufferings and so forth, yet sprouts with worldly enjoyments, is adorned with the blossoms of old age, and shines with the creeper of craving, truly a fetter for the self (ātman) - with the sword of discrimination (viveka), roam freely here, just like a lordly elephant unchained from a post!
51. כרות בחרב ההבחנה את העץ המכונה סַמְסָארָה – אשר מנץ בתקוות, נושא פירות של סבל נורא, מעוטר בעלעלים של תענוגות, פורח בזקנה וזוהר במטפס התשוקה, ומשמש כבלם לעצמי – והתהלך כאן חופשי, כמו פיל אציל שהותרו כבליו ממודרתו.
