तदिदानीं तथा यत्नं करिष्ये गिरिकन्दरे ।
यथाकुसंभ्रमस्यास्य जाने जन्म तथा स्थितिम् ॥ ३५ ॥
tadidānīṃ tathā yatnaṃ kariṣye girikandare ,

35. tat idānīm tathā yatnam kariṣye girikandare yathā
akusaṃbhramasya asya jāne janma tathā sthitim
35. tat idānīm aham girikandare tathā yatnam kariṣye
yathā asya akusaṃbhramasya janma tathā sthitim jāne
35. Therefore, I shall now make such an effort in the mountain cave so that I may truly understand the origin and nature of this phenomenon, free from any confusion.
इति संचिन्त्य नगराद्गाधिस्तस्माज्जगाम ह ।
कन्दरं प्राप्य शैलस्य तस्थौ विश्रान्तसिंहवत् ॥ ३६ ॥
iti saṃcintya nagarādgādhistasmājjagāma ha ,

36. iti saṃcintya nagarāt gādhiḥ tasmāt jagāma ha |
kandaram prāpya śailasya tasthau viśrāntasiṃhavat
36. iti saṃcintya gādhiḥ nagarāt tasmāt ha jagāma
śailasya kandaram prāpya viśrāntasiṃhavat tasthau
36. Thus, having thought deeply, Gādhi indeed went from that city. Having reached the mountain's cave, he stayed there like a rested lion.
तत्र संवत्सरं सार्धं पयश्चुलुकभोजनम् ।
तपश्चक्रे महातेजास्तुष्टये शार्ङ्गधन्वनः ॥ ३७ ॥
tatra saṃvatsaraṃ sārdhaṃ payaśculukabhojanam ,

37. tatra saṃvatsaram sārdham payaḥ culukabhojanam
| tapaḥ cakre mahātejāḥ tuṣṭaye śārṅgadhanvanaḥ
37. tatra mahātejāḥ sārdham saṃvatsaram payaḥ
culukabhojanam tapaḥ śārṅgadhanvanaḥ tuṣṭaye cakre
37. There, that greatly effulgent one performed penance (tapas) for a year and a half, subsisting on mouthfuls of milk, for the satisfaction of the wielder of the Śārṅga bow.
अथास्य पुण्डरीकाक्षः पयोमूर्तिरुपाययौ ।

athāsya puṇḍarīkākṣaḥ payomūrtirupāyayau ,

38. atha asya puṇḍarīkākṣaḥ payomūrtiḥ upāyayau
prasādam utpalaśyāmaḥ śaradi iva mahāhradaḥ
38. atha puṇḍarīkākṣaḥ payomūrtiḥ utpalaśyāmaḥ
asya prasādam upāyayau śaradi mahāhradaḥ iva
38. Then, the lotus-eyed Lord (Puṇḍarīkākṣa), whose form was like water, approached him. Dark like a blue lotus, he manifested serenity, just as a great lake does in autumn.
तमाजगाम शैलेन्द्रकन्दरं द्विजमन्दिरम् ।

39. tam ājagāma śailendrakandaram dvijamandiram

39. saḥ (implied) tam śailendrakandaram dvijamandiram ājagāma.
atha payodharavat acchācchacchaviḥ vyomani avasat.
39. The Lord came to that abode of the sage (dvija), which was a cave in the king of mountains. Then, like a cloud with exceptionally pure brilliance, he remained in the sky.
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।

40. śrībhagavān uvāca.
gādhe,
kaccit mama garīyasī māyā tvayā dṛṣṭā? tvayā daiṣṭikātmakam jagajjālaceṣṭitam dṛṣṭam [ca]?
40. The Blessed Lord said: "O Gādhi, I trust that you have witnessed my supremely powerful cosmic power (māyā). Have you also observed the workings of the world's intricate net, which are fundamentally governed by destiny?"
चित्ताभिगत एतस्मिन्प्राप्ते सम्यगनिन्दितः ।

41. aninditaḥ tvam (implied) giritaṭe tapaḥ kurvan (sati),
etasmin samyak cittābhigate prāpte (sati),
kim anyat abhivāñchasi?
41. You, who have comprehended with your mind, blamelessly performing spiritual discipline (tapas) on this mountain slope – now that this [vision] has been fully realized, what else do you desire?
श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
एवं वदन्तमालोक्य हरिं गाधिर्द्विजोत्तमः ।

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,

42. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca evam vadantam ālokya harim gādhiḥ
dvijottamaḥ arcām kusumapūreṇa pādayoḥ paryapūrayat
42. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca gādhiḥ dvijottamaḥ evam vadantam
harim ālokya kusumapūreṇa pādayoḥ arcām paryapūrayat
42. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: Seeing Hari (Viṣṇu) speaking thus, Gādhi, the best among the twice-born (dvijottama), completed the worship at his feet with a profusion of flowers.
दत्त्वार्ध्यं कीर्णकुसुमः प्रणम्याशु प्रदक्षिणैः ।

43. dattvā arghyam kīrṇakusumaḥ praṇamya āśu pradakṣiṇaiḥ

43. dvijaḥ dattvā arghyam kīrṇakusumaḥ āśu pradakṣiṇaiḥ
praṇamya cātakaḥ ambhodam iva viṣṇum vākyam āha
43. Having offered water (arghya) and scattering flowers, the brahmin (dvija), after quickly bowing and performing circumambulations, spoke these words to Viṣṇu, just as a cātaka bird speaks to a cloud.
गाधिरुवाच ।

44. gādhiḥ uvāca deva yā eṣā atitamomayī māyā tvayā
darśitā ādityaḥ prātaḥ mahīm iva tām me prakaṭatām naya
44. Gādhi said: O Lord! This illusion (māyā) of excessive darkness that has been shown by you – make it manifest to me, just as the sun (āditya) reveals the earth in the morning.
भ्रमं यं पश्यति मनो वासनामलमालितम् ।
स्वप्नवत्स कथं देव जाग्रत्यपि हि दृश्यते ॥ ४५ ॥
bhramaṃ yaṃ paśyati mano vāsanāmalamālitam ,

45. bhramam yam paśyati manaḥ vāsanāmalmālitam
svapnavat saḥ katham deva jāgrati api hi dṛśyate
45. deva vāsanāmalmālitam manaḥ yam bhramam paśyati
saḥ svapnavat jāgrati api hi katham dṛśyate
45. O Lord, how is it that this illusion (bhrama) – which the mind, stained by the impurity of latent impressions (vāsanā), perceives – is seen even in the waking state, just like a dream?
मुहूर्तमुपलब्धश्च जलान्तः स्वप्नविभ्रमः ।
कथं प्रत्यक्षतां प्राप्तो ममामलपदास्पद ॥ ४६ ॥
muhūrtamupalabdhaśca jalāntaḥ svapnavibhramaḥ ,

46. muhūrtam upalabdhaḥ ca jalāntaḥ svapnavibhramaḥ
katham pratyakṣatām prāptaḥ mama amalapadāspada
46. amalapadāspada,
jalāntaḥ svapnavibhramaḥ ca muhūrtam upalabdhaḥ,
mama katham pratyakṣatām prāptaḥ?
46. How has that, which was perceived for merely a moment like an illusion in a dream or reflected in water, become manifest and tangible before me, O abode of the pure reality?
दैर्घ्यादैर्घ्येऽस्य कालस्य शरीरस्य भवाभवाः ।

47. dairghyādairghye asya kālasya śarīrasya bhavābhavāḥ
katham antasthitāḥ na syuḥ madīyaiḥ śvapacabhramaiḥ
47. asya kālasya dairghyādairghye,
śarīrasya bhavābhavāḥ (saṃsāra),
madīyaiḥ śvapacabhramaiḥ (māyā) katham antasthitāḥ na syuḥ?
47. How is it that the extended and brief durations of this time, and the cycles of birth and death (saṃsāra) of this body, are not contained within, or created by, my own base illusions (māyā)?
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
गाधे स्वाधिविधूतस्य स्वरूपस्यैतदात्मकम् ।

śrībhagavānuvāca ,
gādhe svādhividhūtasya svarūpasyaitadātmakam ,

48. śrībhagavān uvāca gādhe svādhividhūtasya svarūpasya etat
ātmakam cetasaḥ adṛṣṭatattvasya yat paśyati uruvibhramam
48. śrībhagavān uvāca - gādhe,
svādhividhūtasya svarūpasya,
adṛṣṭatattvasya,
cetasaḥ yat uruvibhramam paśyati,
etat ātmakam (asti).
48. The Blessed Lord said: O Gādha, this entire phenomenon arises from the mind (cetas) itself. It is characteristic of the mind, which, being alienated from its own true nature (svarūpa) and not perceiving the ultimate reality (tattva), instead beholds a vast illusion (māyā).
बहिर्न किंचिदप्यस्ति खाद्यब्ध्युर्वीदिगादिकम् ।

bahirna kiṃcidapyasti khādyabdhyurvīdigādikam ,

49. bahiḥ na kiñcit api asti khābdhyurvīdigādikam
etat svacitte eva asti patrapuñjam iva aṅkure
49. bahiḥ khābdhyurvīdigādikam kiñcit api na asti.
etat svacitte eva aṅkure patrapuñjam iva asti.
49. Nothing at all exists externally - not even the sky, oceans, earth, directions, and so forth. All of this exists only within one's own consciousness (citta), just as a cluster of leaves is contained within a tiny sprout.
फलादि स्फारतामेति यथैव बहिरङ्कुरात् ।
बहिः प्रकटतां याति तथा पृथ्व्यादिचेतसः ॥ ५० ॥
phalādi sphāratāmeti yathaiva bahiraṅkurāt ,

50. phala-ādi sphāratām eti yathā eva bahis aṅkurāt
| bahis prakaṭatām yāti tathā pṛthvī-ādi cetasaḥ
50. yathā eva aṅkurāt phala-ādi bahis sphāratām eti
tathā cetasaḥ pṛthvī-ādi bahis prakaṭatām yāti
50. Just as fruits and the like attain prominence externally from a sprout, similarly, earth and other elements manifest externally from consciousness.
सत्यं पृथ्व्यादि चित्तस्थं न बहिष्ठं कदाचन ।
अङ्कुरस्थः पल्लवस्तु तस्माद्यस्मात्फलश्रियः ॥ ५१ ॥
satyaṃ pṛthvyādi cittasthaṃ na bahiṣṭhaṃ kadācana ,
aṅkurasthaḥ pallavastu tasmādyasmātphalaśriyaḥ 51
51. satyam pṛthvī-ādi citta-stham na bahis-ṭham kadācana
| aṅkura-sthaḥ pallavaḥ tu tasmāt yasmāt phala-śriyaḥ
51. satyam pṛthvī-ādi citta-stham,
na kadācana bahis-ṭham (asti) tu pallavaḥ aṅkura-sthaḥ (asti),
tasmāt yasmāt phala-śriyaḥ (bhavati)
51. Truly, earth and other elements are situated within consciousness, never existing externally. For a shoot resides within a sprout, and it is from this (sprout) that the splendor of fruits emerges.
रूपालोकमनस्कारतत्ताकालक्रियात्मकम् ।
कुम्भकारो घटमिव चेतो हन्ति करोति च ॥ ५२ ॥
rūpālokamanaskāratattākālakriyātmakam ,

52. rūpa-āloka-manas-kāra-tattā-kāla-kriyā-ātmakam
| kumbhakāraḥ ghaṭam iva cetaḥ hanti karoti ca
52. kumbhakāraḥ ghaṭam iva,
cetaḥ rūpa-āloka-manas-kāra-tattā-kāla-kriyā-ātmakam hanti ca karoti ca
52. Just as a potter (kumbhakāra) creates and destroys a pot, so too, consciousness (cetas) creates and destroys that which is characterized by the nature (ātman) of form, perception, mental impression, reality, time, and action.
आबालमेतत्पुरुषैः सर्वैरेवानुभूयते ।

53. ā-bālam etat puruṣaiḥ sarvaiḥ eva anubhūyate |
svapna-bhrama-mada-āvega-rāga-roga-ādi-dṛṣṭiṣu
53. ā-bālam etat sarvaiḥ eva puruṣaiḥ
svapna-bhrama-mada-āvega-rāga-roga-ādi-dṛṣṭiṣu anubhūyate
53. This is experienced by all persons (puruṣa), from childhood onwards, in perceptions (dṛṣṭi) such as dreams, delusions, intoxications, impulses, attachments, and diseases.
चित्ते वृत्तान्तलक्षाणि संस्थितान्यात्तवासने ।
पादपे फलपुष्पाणि मूलाक्रान्तावनाविव ॥ ५४ ॥
citte vṛttāntalakṣāṇi saṃsthitānyāttavāsane ,
pādape phalapuṣpāṇi mūlākrāntāvanāviva 54
54. citte vṛttāntalakṣāṇi saṃsthitāni āttavāsane
pādape phalapuṣpāṇi mūlākrāntā avanau iva
54. mūlākrāntā avanau pādape phalapuṣpāṇi iva,
āttavāsane citte vṛttāntalakṣāṇi saṃsthitāni.
54. Just as fruits and flowers are contained within a tree rooted in the earth (avani), so too are countless impressions (vāsana) and their results established in the mind (citta), which has absorbed these latent tendencies.
त्यक्तावनेर्विटपिनो भूयः पत्राणि नो यथा ।
निर्वासनस्य जीवस्य पुनर्जन्मादि नो तथा ॥ ५५ ॥
tyaktāvanerviṭapino bhūyaḥ patrāṇi no yathā ,
nirvāsanasya jīvasya punarjanmādi no tathā 55
55. tyakta avaneḥ viṭapinaḥ bhūyaḥ patrāṇi no yathā
nirvāsanasya jīvasya punarjanmādi no tathā
55. yathā tyakta avaneḥ viṭapinaḥ bhūyaḥ patrāṇi no,
tathā nirvāsanasya jīvasya punarjanmādi no.
55. Just as a tree (viṭapin) uprooted from the earth (avani) produces no more leaves, similarly, an individual soul (jīva) that is freed from latent impressions (vāsana) experiences no further rebirth (punarjanmādi).
यत्रानन्तजगज्जालं संस्थितं तेन तेजसा ।

yatrānantajagajjālaṃ saṃsthitaṃ tena tejasā ,
śvapacatvaṃ prakaṭitaṃ yadi tadvismayo'tra kim 56
56. yatra anantajagajjālam saṃsthitam tena tejasā
śvapacatvam prakaṭitam yadi tat vismayaḥ atra kim
56. yatra anantajagajjālam tena tejasā saṃsthitam,
yadi śvapacatvam prakaṭitam,
tat atra kim vismayaḥ?
56. If even the state of being an outcast (śvapacatvam) is manifested by that very spiritual power (tejas) within which the infinite network of worlds (jagat) is contained, then what astonishment can there be in this?
अवबुद्धा श्वपचता प्रतिभासवशात्त्वया ।
यथैवानल्पसंरम्भा विचित्राधिविकारदा ॥ ५७ ॥
avabuddhā śvapacatā pratibhāsavaśāttvayā ,
yathaivānalpasaṃrambhā vicitrādhivikāradā 57
57. avabuddhā śvapacatā pratibhāsavaśāt tvayā
yathā eva analpasaṃrambhā vicitrādhi-vikāradā
57. tvayā śvapacatā pratibhāsavaśāt avabuddhā,
yathā eva analpasaṃrambhā vicitrādhi-vikāradā.
57. The state of being an outcast (śvapacatā) has been perceived by you through the power of illusion or appearance (pratibhāsa), which indeed gives rise to many varied mental disturbances and causes significant agitation.
तथैवातिथिरायातो भुक्तवान्सुप्तवान्द्विजः ।

tathaivātithirāyāto bhuktavānsuptavāndvijaḥ ,

58. tathā eva atithiḥ āyātaḥ bhuktavān suptavān dvijaḥ
kathām kathitavān ca iti dṛṣṭavān asi saṃbhramam
58. tathā eva atithiḥ āyātaḥ,
dvijaḥ bhuktavān suptavān,
ca kathām kathitavān iti; saṃbhramam asi dṛṣṭavān.
58. Similarly, a guest arrived, a Brahmin ate and slept, and a story was told - you have seen this delusion.
तथैवोत्थाय गच्छामि प्राप्तोऽहं भूतमण्डलम् ।
इमे भूता इमे ग्रामा दृष्टवानसि संभ्रमम् ॥ ५९ ॥
tathaivotthāya gacchāmi prāpto'haṃ bhūtamaṇḍalam ,

59. tathā eva utthāya gacchāmi prāptaḥ aham bhūtamaṇḍalam
ime bhūtāḥ ime grāmāḥ dṛṣṭavān asi saṃbhramam
59. tathā eva utthāya gacchāmi,
aham bhūtamaṇḍalam prāptaḥ; ime bhūtāḥ,
ime grāmāḥ (iti); saṃbhramam asi dṛṣṭavān.
59. Similarly, I rise and go, and I have reached the realm of beings. These are beings, these are villages - you have seen this delusion.
तथैवेदं कटंजस्य प्राक्तनं लुठितं गृहम् ।
जनैरुक्तं कटंजस्य दृष्टवानसि संभ्रमम् ॥ ६० ॥

60. tathā eva idam kaṭaṃjasya prāktanam luṭhitam gṛham
janaiḥ uktam kaṭaṃjasya dṛṣṭavān asi saṃbhramam
60. tathā eva idam kaṭaṃjasya prāktanam luṭhitam gṛham janaiḥ kaṭaṃjasya uktam (iti); saṃbhramam asi dṛṣṭavān.
60. Similarly, this is Katañja's old, dilapidated house, spoken of by people as Katañja's - you have seen this delusion.
तथैव कीरनगरं प्राप्तोऽस्मि कथितं च मे ।
कीरैः श्वपचराजत्वं दृष्टवानसि सभ्रमम् ॥ ६१ ॥
tathaiva kīranagaraṃ prāpto'smi kathitaṃ ca me ,

61. tathā eva kīranagaram prāptaḥ asmi kathitam ca me
kīraiḥ śvapacarājatvam dṛṣṭavān asi saṃbhramam
61. tathā eva aham kīranagaram prāptaḥ asmi,
ca me kīraiḥ śvapacarājatvam kathitam (iti); saṃbhramam asi dṛṣṭavān.
61. Similarly, I arrived at Kīranagara, and it was told to me by parrots about the kingship of a dog-eater - you have seen this delusion.
एवं सर्वं त्वया दृष्टं मोहजालं द्विजोत्तम ।
यत्सत्यमिति जानासि यच्चासत्यमवैषि च ॥ ६२ ॥
evaṃ sarvaṃ tvayā dṛṣṭaṃ mohajālaṃ dvijottama ,

62. evam sarvam tvayā dṛṣṭam mohajālam dvijottama
yat satyam iti jānāsi yat ca asatyam avaiṣi ca
62. dvijottama tvayā evam sarvam mohajālam dṛṣṭam,
yat satyam iti jānāsi ca yat asatyam avaiṣi ca.
62. O best among the twice-born (dvijottama), you have thus seen this entire net of delusion, both what you perceive as real and what you perceive as unreal.
वासनावलितं चेतः किं नामान्तर्न पश्यति ।
साधितं दृश्यते स्वप्ने वर्षसाध्यं प्रयोजनम् ॥ ६३ ॥
vāsanāvalitaṃ cetaḥ kiṃ nāmāntarna paśyati ,
sādhitaṃ dṛśyate svapne varṣasādhyaṃ prayojanam 63
63. vāsanāvalitam cetaḥ kim nāma antaḥ na paśyati
sādhitam dṛśyate svapne varṣasādhyam prayojanam
63. vāsanāvalitam cetaḥ kim nāma antaḥ na paśyati? varṣasādhyam prayojanam svapne sādhitam dṛśyate.
63. What indeed can the mind (cetas), enveloped by latent impressions (vāsanā), not perceive internally? An objective that would take years to accomplish is seen as achieved in a dream.
नातिथिर्न च भूतास्ते न कीरास्ते न तत्पुरम् ।
सर्वमेतन्महाबुद्धे व्यामोहाद्दृष्टवानसि ॥ ६४ ॥
nātithirna ca bhūtāste na kīrāste na tatpuram ,

64. na atithiḥ na ca bhūtāḥ te na kīrāḥ te na tat

64. mahābuddhe,
na atithiḥ,
na ca te bhūtāḥ,
na te kīrāḥ,
na tat puram.
tvam etat sarvam vyāmohāt dṛṣṭavān asi.
64. There was no guest, nor were those beings, nor those parrots, nor that city. O great-minded one (mahābuddhe), all this you have perceived out of delusion.
गच्छता भवता भूतदेशं पान्थेन कन्दरे ।
कस्मिंश्चिद्विप्र विश्रान्तं कुरङ्गेणेव कानने ॥ ६५ ॥
gacchatā bhavatā bhūtadeśaṃ pānthena kandare ,

65. gacchatā bhavatā bhūtadeśam pānthena kandare
kasmiṃścit vipra viśrāntam kuraṅgeṇa iva kānane
65. vipra,
bhūtadeśam gacchatā bhavatā kasmiṃścit kandare viśrāntam pānthena iva,
kuraṅgeṇa kānane iva.
65. O Brahmin (vipra), you, while journeying to the land of spirits, rested in some cave, just as a traveler (pāntha) would rest, and as a deer (kuraṅga) rests in a forest.
तत्रैव श्रममूढत्वादिदं तद्भूतमण्डलम् ।

tatraiva śramamūḍhatvādidaṃ tadbhūtamaṇḍalam ,

66. tatra eva śramamūḍhatvāt idam tat bhūtamaṇḍalam
idam tat śvapacāgāram iti dṛṣṭam na satyataḥ
66. śramamūḍhatvāt tatra eva idam tat bhūtamaṇḍalam
idam tat śvapacāgāram iti dṛṣṭam na satyataḥ
66. Due to the bewilderment arising from exertion, this entire realm of beings (bhūtamaṇḍala) was perceived as a dwelling of outcasts, but not in its true reality.
तथैव कीरनगरं दृष्टवानसि तत्तथा ।
तदैव चान्यदा वापि मायार्थं हि भवान्द्विज ॥ ६७ ॥
tathaiva kīranagaraṃ dṛṣṭavānasi tattathā ,

67. O Brahmin (dvija), in the same way, you have seen that Kīranagara just like that; indeed, at that very time or at any other time, it was truly for the purpose of illusion (māyā).
सर्वदैव समग्रासु विहरन्नसि दृष्टवान् ।

68. mune sarvadā eva samagrāsu dikṣu pronmattakaḥ
iva manasā vibhramam dṛṣṭavān asi viharan
68. O sage (muni), you have always, indeed, wandered in all directions, seeing delusion (vibhrama) with your mind, as if you were a madman.
तदुत्तिष्ठ निजं कर्म कुर्वंस्तिष्ठोपशान्तधीः ।
न स्वकर्म विना श्रेयः प्राप्नुवन्तीह मानवाः ॥ ६९ ॥

69. tat uttiṣṭha nijam karma kurvan upaśāntadhīḥ tiṣṭha
iha mānavāḥ svakarma vinā śreyaḥ na prāpnuvanti
69. Therefore, arise! Perform your own duty (karma), and remain with a tranquil mind. For here in this world, human beings do not attain true welfare without their own actions (karma).

70. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: Having spoken thus, that lotus-navelled one (Viṣṇu), who was being honored by hosts of ascetics dwelling on earth and surrounded by groups of wise sages with pure hands, returned to his own abode, the ocean.
