श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इत्युक्त्वा भगवानेनं सुरघुं रघुनन्दन ।
ययौ स्वमेव रुचिरं माण्डव्यो मौनमण्डलम् ॥ १ ॥
śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,
ityuktvā bhagavānenaṃ suraghuṃ raghunandana ,
yayau svameva ruciraṃ māṇḍavyo maunamaṇḍalam 1
1. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca iti uktvā bhagavān enam suraghum
raghunandana yayau svam eva ruciram māṇḍavyaḥ maunamaṇḍalam
1. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca raghunandana,
iti enam suraghum uktvā,
bhagavān māṇḍavyaḥ svam eva ruciram maunamaṇḍalam yayau.
1. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: "O delight of the Raghu dynasty, having thus spoken to Suraghu, the venerable Maṇḍavya (Vasiṣṭha) returned to his own beautiful, silent abode."
गते वरमुनौ राजा गत्वैकान्तमनिन्दितम् ।
धिया संचिन्तयामास को नामाहमिति स्वयम् ॥ २ ॥
gate varamunau rājā gatvaikāntamaninditam ,
dhiyā saṃcintayāmāsa ko nāmāhamiti svayam 2
2. gate varamunau rājā gatvā ekāntam aninditam
dhiyā saṃcintayāmāsa kaḥ nāma aham iti svayam
2. varamunau gate,
rājā aninditam ekāntam gatvā,
dhiyā svayam "kaḥ nāma aham?" iti saṃcintayāmāsa.
2. When the excellent sage had departed, the king went to a pristine, solitary place and profoundly contemplated within himself with his intellect: "Who indeed am I?"
नाहं मेरुर्न मे मेरुर्जगन्नाहं न मे जगत् ।
नाहं शैला न मे शैला धरा नाहं न मे धरा ॥ ३ ॥
nāhaṃ merurna me merurjagannāhaṃ na me jagat ,
nāhaṃ śailā na me śailā dharā nāhaṃ na me dharā 3
3. na aham meruḥ na me meruḥ jagat na aham na me jagat
na aham śailāḥ na me śailāḥ dharā na aham na me dharā
3. aham meruḥ na,
meruḥ me na.
aham jagat na,
jagat me na.
aham śailāḥ na,
śailāḥ me na.
aham dharā na,
dharā me na.
3. "I am not Mount Meru, nor does Mount Meru belong to me. I am not the universe, nor does the universe belong to me. I am not the mountains, nor do the mountains belong to me. I am not the earth, nor does the earth belong to me."
किरातमण्डलं नेदं मम नाहं च मण्डलम् ।
निजसंकेतमात्रेण केवलं देश एव मे ॥ ४ ॥
kirātamaṇḍalaṃ nedaṃ mama nāhaṃ ca maṇḍalam ,
nijasaṃketamātreṇa kevalaṃ deśa eva me 4
4. kirātamaṇḍalam na idam mama na aham ca maṇḍalam
nijasaṃketamātreṇa kevalam deśaḥ eva me
4. idam kirātamaṇḍalam mama na,
ca aham maṇḍalam na.
kevalam nijasaṃketamātreṇa deśaḥ eva me.
4. "This Kirāta region does not belong to me, nor am I this region. This land is considered mine merely through conventional designation."
त्यक्तो मयैष संकेतो नाहं देशो न वैष मे ।
इदानीं नगरं शिष्टमेष एवात्र निश्चयः ॥ ५ ॥
tyakto mayaiṣa saṃketo nāhaṃ deśo na vaiṣa me ,
idānīṃ nagaraṃ śiṣṭameṣa evātra niścayaḥ 5
5. tyaktaḥ mayā eṣaḥ saṅketaḥ na aham deśaḥ na vai eṣaḥ
me idānīm nagaram śiṣṭam eṣaḥ eva atra niścayaḥ
5. eṣaḥ saṅketaḥ mayā tyaktaḥ aham deśaḥ na eṣaḥ me na
vai idānīm nagaram śiṣṭam atra eṣaḥ eva niścayaḥ
5. I have abandoned this convention (saṅketa). I am not this land, nor does this belong to me. Now, only the city remains. This is indeed the firm resolution concerning this.
पताकावनपङ्क्त्याढ्या भृत्योपवनसंकुला ।
गजाश्वसामन्तयुता पुरी नाहं न मे पुरी ॥ ६ ॥
patākāvanapaṅktyāḍhyā bhṛtyopavanasaṃkulā ,
gajāśvasāmantayutā purī nāhaṃ na me purī 6
6. patākāvanapaṅktyāḍhyā bhṛtyopavanasaṅkulā
gajāśvasāmantayutā purī na aham na me purī
6. patākāvanapaṅktyāḍhyā bhṛtyopavanasaṅkulā
gajāśvasāmantayutā purī aham na purī me na
6. The city, adorned with dense arrays of flags, crowded with the gardens of its servants, and equipped with elephants, horses, and feudal lords - I am not this city, nor does this city belong to me.
व्यर्थसंकेतसंबन्धं संकेतविगमे क्षतम् ।
भोगवृन्दं कलत्रं च नाहं नैतन्ममाखिलम् ॥ ७ ॥
vyarthasaṃketasaṃbandhaṃ saṃketavigame kṣatam ,
bhogavṛndaṃ kalatraṃ ca nāhaṃ naitanmamākhilam 7
7. vyarthasaṅketasambandham saṅketavigame kṣatam
bhogavṛndam kalatram ca na aham na etat mama akhilam
7. vyarthasaṅketasambandham saṅketavigame kṣatam
bhogavṛndam kalatram ca aham na etat akhilam mama na
7. I am neither the association with a futile convention (saṅketa), which is damaged upon the cessation of that convention, nor the multitude of enjoyments, nor even my wife. This entire collection does not belong to me.
एवं सभृत्यं सबलं सवाहनपुरान्तरम् ।
नाहं राज्यं न मे राज्यं संकेतो ह्ययमाकुलः ॥ ८ ॥
evaṃ sabhṛtyaṃ sabalaṃ savāhanapurāntaram ,
nāhaṃ rājyaṃ na me rājyaṃ saṃketo hyayamākulaḥ 8
8. evam sabhṛtyam sabalam savāhanapurāntaram na
aham rājyam na me rājyam saṅketaḥ hi ayam ākulaḥ
8. evam sabhṛtyam sabalam savāhanapurāntaram rājyam
aham na rājyam me na hi ayam saṅketaḥ ākulaḥ
8. Thus, along with servants, with military strength, and with conveyances within the city - I am not this kingdom, nor does this kingdom belong to me, for this convention (saṅketa) is indeed confusing.
देहमात्रमहं मन्ये हस्तपादादिसंयुतम् ।
तदिदं तावदाश्वन्तरलमालोकयाम्यहम् ॥ ९ ॥
dehamātramahaṃ manye hastapādādisaṃyutam ,
tadidaṃ tāvadāśvantaralamālokayāmyaham 9
9. dehamātram aham manye hastapādādisaṃyutam |
tat idam tāvat āśu antaralam ālokayāmi aham
9. aham dehamātram hastapādādisaṃyutam manye
tat idam antaralam āśu tāvat aham ālokayāmi
9. I consider myself merely the body, comprised of hands, feet, and other parts. Therefore, I will now quickly examine what is within it.
तदत्र तावन्मांसास्थि नाहमेतदचेतनम् ।
न चैतन्मम संश्लेषमेत्यब्जस्य यथा जलम् ॥ १० ॥
tadatra tāvanmāṃsāsthi nāhametadacetanam ,
na caitanmama saṃśleṣametyabjasya yathā jalam 10
10. tat atra tāvat māṃsāsthi na aham etat acetanam |
na ca etat mama saṃśleṣam eti abjasya yathā jalam
10. tat atra tāvat aham etat acetanam māṃsāsthi na ca
etat yathā abjasya jalam mama saṃśleṣam na eti
10. Therefore, I am not this inert mass of flesh and bone. Nor does it attach itself to me, just as water does not cling to a lotus (abja).
मांसं जडं न तदहं नैवाहं रक्तमप्यलम् ।
जडान्यस्थीनि नैवाहं न चैतानि मम क्वचित् ॥ ११ ॥
māṃsaṃ jaḍaṃ na tadahaṃ naivāhaṃ raktamapyalam ,
jaḍānyasthīni naivāhaṃ na caitāni mama kvacit 11
11. māṃsam jaḍam na tat aham na eva aham raktam api alam
| jaḍāni asthīni na eva aham na ca etāni mama kvacit
11. māṃsam jaḍam,
tat aham na aham raktam api eva na alam asthīni jaḍāni,
aham eva na ca etāni mama kvacit na
11. Flesh is inert, so I am not it. Nor am I blood at all. Bones are inert, and I am not them. Nor are these ever truly mine.
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि नैवाहं न च कर्मेन्द्रियाणि मे ।
जडं यत्किल देहेऽस्मिंस्तदहं नैव चेतनः ॥ १२ ॥
karmendriyāṇi naivāhaṃ na ca karmendriyāṇi me ,
jaḍaṃ yatkila dehe'smiṃstadahaṃ naiva cetanaḥ 12
12. karmendriyāṇi na eva aham na ca karmendriyāṇi me |
jaḍam yat kila dehe asmin tat aham na eva cetanaḥ
12. aham karmendriyāṇi na eva ca karmendriyāṇi me na kila yat jaḍam asmin dehe,
tat aham cetanaḥ eva na
12. I am certainly not the organs of action (karmendriyas), nor do these organs belong to me. Whatever inert thing exists in this body, I am certainly not that, for I am conscious (cetana).
नाहं भोगा न मे भोगा न मे बुद्धीन्द्रियाणि च ।
जडान्यसत्स्वरूपाणि न च बुद्धीन्द्रियाण्यहम् ॥ १३ ॥
nāhaṃ bhogā na me bhogā na me buddhīndriyāṇi ca ,
jaḍānyasatsvarūpāṇi na ca buddhīndriyāṇyaham 13
13. na aham bhogāḥ na me bhogāḥ na me buddhīndriyāṇi
ca jaḍāni asat-svarūpāṇi na ca buddhīndriyāṇi aham
13. aham na bhogāḥ me na bhogāḥ me na ca buddhīndriyāṇi
jaḍāni asat-svarūpāṇi ca aham na buddhīndriyāṇi
13. I am not the objects of enjoyment, nor do enjoyments belong to me. The intellect and sense organs are also not mine. They are inert and of an unreal nature. And I am certainly not the intellect and sense organs themselves.
मूलं संसृतिदोषस्य मनो नाहं जडं हि तत् ।
अथ बुद्धिरहंकार इति दृष्टिर्मनोमयी ॥ १४ ॥
mūlaṃ saṃsṛtidoṣasya mano nāhaṃ jaḍaṃ hi tat ,
atha buddhirahaṃkāra iti dṛṣṭirmanomayī 14
14. mūlam saṃsṛtidoṣasya manaḥ na aham jaḍam hi
tat atha buddhiḥ ahaṅkāraḥ iti dṛṣṭiḥ manomayī
14. manaḥ saṃsṛtidoṣasya mūlam aham na tat hi jaḍam
atha dṛṣṭiḥ buddhiḥ ahaṅkāraḥ iti manomayī
14. The mind is the root cause of the defect of transmigration (saṃsāra); I am not that mind, for it is indeed inert. Furthermore, the notion that 'I am the intellect and the ego' – this entire perspective is mind-born.
मनोबुद्धीन्द्रियाद्यन्तो भूतकोशश्चलद्वपुः ।
नाहमेवं शरीरादि शिष्टमालोकयाम्यहम् ॥ १५ ॥
manobuddhīndriyādyanto bhūtakośaścaladvapuḥ ,
nāhamevaṃ śarīrādi śiṣṭamālokayāmyaham 15
15. manobuddhīndriyādyantaḥ bhūtakośaḥ caladvapuḥ
na aham evam śarīrādi śiṣṭam ālokayāmi aham
15. manobuddhīndriyādyantaḥ caladvapuḥ bhūtakośaḥ
aham na evam śarīrādi aham śiṣṭam ālokayāmi
15. The elemental sheath, which culminates in the mind, intellect, and sense organs, and whose very form is fleeting and changing – I am not this body and similar constituents. Rather, I perceive that which ultimately remains, the true essence.
शेषस्तु चेतनो जीवः स चेच्चेत्येन चेतति ।
अन्येन बोध्यमानोऽसौ नात्मतत्त्ववपुर्भवेत् ॥ १६ ॥
śeṣastu cetano jīvaḥ sa ceccetyena cetati ,
anyena bodhyamāno'sau nātmatattvavapurbhavet 16
16. śeṣaḥ tu cetanaḥ jīvaḥ saḥ cet cetyena cetati
anyena bodhyamānaḥ asau na ātmatattvavapuḥ bhavet
16. tu śeṣaḥ cetanaḥ jīvaḥ saḥ cet cetyena cetati
asau anyena bodhyamānaḥ na ātmatattvavapuḥ bhavet
16. But the remainder is the conscious individual soul. If this soul perceives by means of an object of perception, and is itself made known by another, then it cannot possibly be of the true intrinsic nature of the Self (ātman).
एवं त्यजामि संवेद्यं चेत्यं नाहं हि तत्किल ।
शेषो विकल्परहितो विशुद्धचिदहंस्थितः ॥ १७ ॥
evaṃ tyajāmi saṃvedyaṃ cetyaṃ nāhaṃ hi tatkila ,
śeṣo vikalparahito viśuddhacidahaṃsthitaḥ 17
17. evam tyajāmi saṃvedyam cetyam na aham hi tat kila
| śeṣaḥ vikalparahitaḥ viśuddhacit ahaṃsthitaḥ
17. aham evam saṃvedyam cetyam tyajāmi hi tat na kila
śeṣaḥ vikalparahitaḥ viśuddhacit ahaṃsthitaḥ
17. Thus, I renounce all that is perceivable and conceivable, for I am certainly not that. What remains is pure consciousness (cit), free from all conceptual distinctions, abiding as the self (ātman).
चित्रमेषोऽस्मि लब्धात्मा जातः कालेन कार्यवान् ।
एष सोऽहमनन्तात्मा नान्तोऽस्य परमात्मनः ॥ १८ ॥
citrameṣo'smi labdhātmā jātaḥ kālena kāryavān ,
eṣa so'hamanantātmā nānto'sya paramātmanaḥ 18
18. citram eṣaḥ asmi labdha ātmā jātaḥ kālena kāryavān |
eṣaḥ saḥ aham ananta ātmā na antaḥ asya parama ātmanaḥ
18. citram eṣaḥ aham labdha ātmā kālena kāryavān jātaḥ asmi
eṣaḥ saḥ aham ananta ātmā asya parama ātmanaḥ antaḥ na
18. How wonderful it is that I, having realized the true Self (ātman), have by time become one who is engaged in action. This very 'I' is that infinite Self (anantātmā); indeed, there is no end to this Supreme Self (paramātman).
ब्रह्मणीन्द्रे यमे वायौ सर्वभूतगणे तथा ।
स एष भगवानात्मा तन्तुर्मुक्तास्विव स्थितः ॥ १९ ॥
brahmaṇīndre yame vāyau sarvabhūtagaṇe tathā ,
sa eṣa bhagavānātmā tanturmuktāsviva sthitaḥ 19
19. brahmaṇi indre yame vāyau sarvabhūtagaṇe tathā |
saḥ eṣaḥ bhagavān ātmā tantuḥ muktāsu iva sthitaḥ
19. saḥ eṣaḥ bhagavān ātmā brahmaṇi indre yame vāyau
tathā sarvabhūtagaṇe muktāsu tantuḥ iva sthitaḥ
19. That glorious self (ātman), the Blessed Lord, is present in Brahmā, Indra, Yama, Vāyu, and similarly in all hosts of beings, just as a thread is situated among pearls.
चिच्छक्तिरमला सैषा चेत्यामयविवर्जिता ।
भरिताशेषदिक्कुञ्जा भैरवाकारधारिणी ॥ २० ॥
cicchaktiramalā saiṣā cetyāmayavivarjitā ,
bharitāśeṣadikkuñjā bhairavākāradhāriṇī 20
20. cit śaktiḥ amalā sā eṣā cetyāmayavivarjitā
| bharitāśeṣadikkuñjā bhairavākāradhāriṇī
20. eṣā sā amalā cit śaktiḥ cetyāmayavivarjitā
bharitāśeṣadikkuñjā bhairavākāradhāriṇī
20. This spotless power of consciousness (śakti) is that which is entirely free from the disease of the conceivable. She fills all directions and groves, assuming a formidable form.
सर्वभावगता सूक्ष्मा भावाभावविवर्जिता ।
आब्रह्मभुवनान्तःस्था सर्वशक्तिसमुद्गिका ॥ २१ ॥
sarvabhāvagatā sūkṣmā bhāvābhāvavivarjitā ,
ābrahmabhuvanāntaḥsthā sarvaśaktisamudgikā 21
21. sarvabhāvagatā sūkṣmā bhāvābhāvavivarjitā
ābrahmabhuvanāntaḥsthā sarvaśaktisamudgikā
21. sarvabhāvagatā sūkṣmā bhāvābhāvavivarjitā
ābrahmabhuvanāntaḥsthā sarvaśaktisamudgikā
21. She pervades all states, is subtle, and transcends both existence and non-existence. She resides within the entire universe, even up to Brahma's realm, and is the receptacle of all power (śakti).
सर्वसौन्दर्यसुभगा सर्वप्राकाश्यदीपिका ।
सर्वसंसारमुक्तानां तन्तुराततरूपिणी ॥ २२ ॥
sarvasaundaryasubhagā sarvaprākāśyadīpikā ,
sarvasaṃsāramuktānāṃ tanturātatarūpiṇī 22
22. sarvasaundaryasubhagā sarvaprākāśyadīpikā
sarvasaṃsāramuktānām tantuḥ ātatarūpiṇī
22. sarvasaundaryasubhagā sarvaprākāśyadīpikā
sarvasaṃsāramuktānām ātatarūpiṇī tantuḥ
22. She possesses all beauty and grace, and she illuminates all manifestation. For all those liberated from the cycle of transmigration (saṃsāra), she is the all-pervading, subtle form, like a thread.
सर्वाकारविकाराढ्या सर्वाकारविवर्जिता ।
सर्वभूतौघतां याता सर्वदा सर्वतां गता ॥ २३ ॥
sarvākāravikārāḍhyā sarvākāravivarjitā ,
sarvabhūtaughatāṃ yātā sarvadā sarvatāṃ gatā 23
23. sarvākāravikārāḍhyā sarvākāravivarjitā
sarvabhūtaughatām yātā sarvadā sarvatām gatā
23. sarvākāravikārāḍhyā sarvākāravivarjitā
sarvabhūtaughatām yātā sarvadā sarvatām gatā
23. She is rich in all forms and transformations, yet simultaneously devoid of all forms. She has attained the nature of the multitude of all beings and is always, at all times, the entirety of everything.
चतुर्दशविधान्येषा भूतानि भुवनोदरे ।
एतन्मयीयं कलना जागती वेदनात्मिका ॥ २४ ॥
caturdaśavidhānyeṣā bhūtāni bhuvanodare ,
etanmayīyaṃ kalanā jāgatī vedanātmikā 24
24. caturdaśavidhāni eṣā bhūtāni bhuvanodare
etanmayī iyam kalanā jāgatī vedanātmikā
24. eṣā caturdaśavidhāni bhūtāni bhuvanodare (santi).
iyam etanmayī jāgatī vedanātmikā kalanā (asti).
24. These fourteen types of beings reside within the cosmos. This entire cosmic creation, which is of the nature of awareness, is verily composed of her.
मिथ्यावभासमात्रं तु सुखदुःखदशागतिः ।
नानाकारमयाभासः सर्वमात्मैव चित्परा ॥ २५ ॥
mithyāvabhāsamātraṃ tu sukhaduḥkhadaśāgatiḥ ,
nānākāramayābhāsaḥ sarvamātmaiva citparā 25
25. mithyāvabhāsamātraṃ tu sukhaduḥkhadaśāgatiḥ
nānākāramayābhāsaḥ sarvam ātmā eva citparā
25. sukhaduḥkhadaśāgatiḥ tu mithyāvabhāsamātraṃ
nānākāramayābhāsaḥ sarvam eva citparā ātmā
25. Indeed, the arrival and departure of states of pleasure and pain are merely a false appearance. This entire manifestation, appearing in various forms, is nothing but the supreme consciousness (citparā), which is the Self (ātman) itself.
सोऽयमात्मा मम व्यापी सेयं यदवबोधनम् ।
सेयमाकलिताङ्गाभा करोति नृपविभ्रमम् ॥ २६ ॥
so'yamātmā mama vyāpī seyaṃ yadavabodhanam ,
seyamākalitāṅgābhā karoti nṛpavibhramam 26
26. saḥ ayam ātmā mama vyāpī sā iyam yat avabodhanam
sā iyam ākaliṭāṅgābhā karoti nṛpavibhramam
26. mama vyāpī saḥ ayam ātmā sā iyam yat avabodhanam
sā iyam ākaliṭāṅgābhā nṛpavibhramam karoti
26. This Self (ātman) of mine is all-pervading. This very Self is the source of awareness. It is this Self, when perceived as having a distinct form, that causes delusion for the king.
अस्या एव प्रसादेन मनो देहरथे स्थितम् ।
संसारजाललीलासु याति वल्गति नृत्यति ॥ २७ ॥
asyā eva prasādena mano deharathe sthitam ,
saṃsārajālalīlāsu yāti valgati nṛtyati 27
27. asyāḥ eva prasādena manaḥ deharathe sthitam
saṃsārajālalīlāsu yāti valgati नृत्यति
27. asyāḥ eva prasādena deharathe sthitam manaḥ
saṃsārajālalīlāsu yāti valgati nṛtyati
27. It is by her grace alone that the mind, residing in the chariot of the body, engages, prances, and dances in the sportive illusions of the net of worldly existence (saṃsāra).
इदं मनःशरीरादि न किंचिदपि वस्तुतः ।
नष्टे न किंचिदप्यस्मिन्परिनश्यति पेलवे ॥ २८ ॥
idaṃ manaḥśarīrādi na kiṃcidapi vastutaḥ ,
naṣṭe na kiṃcidapyasminparinaśyati pelave 28
28. idam manaḥśarīrādi na kiṃcit api vastutaḥ
naṣṭe na kiṃcit api asmin parinaśyati pelave
28. vastutaḥ idam manaḥśarīrādi kiṃcit api na
asmin pelave naṣṭe kiṃcit api na parinaśyati
28. In reality, this mind, body, and so forth are not substantial at all. When this fragile (mind-body complex) is destroyed, nothing essential perishes completely.
जगज्जालमयं नृत्तमिदं चित्तनटैस्ततम् ।
एतयैवैकया बुद्ध्या दृश्यते दीपलेखया ॥ २९ ॥
jagajjālamayaṃ nṛttamidaṃ cittanaṭaistatam ,
etayaivaikayā buddhyā dṛśyate dīpalekhayā 29
29. jagatjālamayam nṛttam idam cittanaṭaiḥ tatam
etayā eva ekayā buddhyā dṛśyate dīpalekhayā
29. idam jagatjālamayam nṛttam cittanaṭaiḥ tatam
etayā ekaya eva buddhyā dṛśyate dīpalekhayā
29. This dance, which is the entire network of the world, is spread out by the actors of consciousness. It is perceived solely by this one faculty of understanding (buddhi), just as by the light of a lamp.
कष्टं मुधैव मे चिन्ता निग्रहानुग्रहस्थितौ ।
बभूव देहनिष्ठेह न किंचिदपि देहकम् ॥ ३० ॥
kaṣṭaṃ mudhaiva me cintā nigrahānugrahasthitau ,
babhūva dehaniṣṭheha na kiṃcidapi dehakam 30
30. kaṣṭam mudhā eva me cintā nigrahānugrahasthitau
babhūva dehaniṣṭhā iha na kiñcit api dehakam
30. kaṣṭam me cintā nigrahānugrahasthitau mudhā eva
babhūva iha dehaniṣṭhā na kiñcit api dehakam
30. Alas, my concern (cintā) about situations of restraint and favor was entirely futile. For here, there was no identification with the body, nor indeed anything at all belonging to the body.
अहो त्वहं प्रबुद्धोऽस्मि गतं दुर्दर्शनं मम ।
दृष्टं द्रष्टव्यमखिलं प्राप्तं प्राप्यमिदं मया ॥ ३१ ॥
aho tvahaṃ prabuddho'smi gataṃ durdarśanaṃ mama ,
dṛṣṭaṃ draṣṭavyamakhilaṃ prāptaṃ prāpyamidaṃ mayā 31
31. aho tu aham prabuddhaḥ asmi gatam durdarśanam mama
dṛṣṭam draṣṭavyam akhilam prāptam prāpyam idam mayā
31. aho! tu aham prabuddhaḥ asmi.
mama durdarśanam gatam.
akhilam draṣṭavyam dṛṣṭam,
idam prāpyam mayā prāptam.
31. Oh, I am truly awakened! My erroneous perception has vanished. All that was to be perceived has been perceived, and this that was to be attained has been attained by me.
सर्वं किंचिदिदं दृश्यं दृश्यते यज्जगद्गतम् ।
चिन्निष्पन्दांशमात्रांशान्नान्यत्किंचन शाश्वतम् ॥ ३२ ॥
sarvaṃ kiṃcididaṃ dṛśyaṃ dṛśyate yajjagadgatam ,
cinniṣpandāṃśamātrāṃśānnānyatkiṃcana śāśvatam 32
32. sarvam kiñcit idam dṛśyam dṛśyate yat jagat gatam
citniṣpandāṃśamātrāṃśāt na anyat kiñcana śāśvatam
32. idam sarvam kiñcit dṛśyam yat jagat gatam (tat) dṛśyate.
citniṣpandāṃśamātrāṃśāt anyat kiñcana na śāśvatam.
32. All this that is perceptible, whatever has manifested in the world (jagat), is seen. Yet, nothing else whatsoever, apart from a mere fraction of the tranquil aspect of pure consciousness (cit), is eternal.
क्व तौ कीदृग्विधौ वापि किंनिष्ठौ वा किमात्मकौ ।
निग्रहानुग्रहौ लोके हर्षामर्षक्रमौ तथा ॥ ३३ ॥
kva tau kīdṛgvidhau vāpi kiṃniṣṭhau vā kimātmakau ,
nigrahānugrahau loke harṣāmarṣakramau tathā 33
33. kva tau kīdṛgvidhau vā api kiṃniṣṭhau vā kimātmakau
nigrahānugrahau loke harṣāmarṣakramau tathā
33. loke nigrahānugrahau harṣāmarṣakramau tathā tau
kva kīdṛgvidhau vā api kiṃniṣṭhau vā kimātmakau
33. In this world, where are those two - suppression and grace, and similarly, the sequence of joy and resentment? Of what kind are they, upon what do they depend, or what is their intrinsic nature (ātman)?
किं सुखं किं नु वा दुःखं सर्वं ब्रह्मेदमाततम् ।

34. What is happiness, or what truly is sorrow? All this (universe) is the supreme reality (brahman), spread everywhere. I was foolish in vain, but fortunately, I, who was deluded, am now established (in truth).
किमस्मिन्नेवमालोके शोच्यते किं विमुह्यते ।
किं प्रेक्ष्यते किं क्रियते स्थीयते वाथ गम्यते ॥ ३५ ॥

35. asmin evam āloke kim śocyate? kim vimuhyate? kim prekṣyate?
kim kriyate? vā atha sthīyate (vā) gamyate (vā)?
35. In this manifest world, what is to be grieved over, or what is to be deluded about? What is to be seen, what is to be done? Or should one stand still, or should one go?
किंचिदेवमिदं नाम चिदाकाशे विराजते ।
नमो नमस्ते निस्तत्त्व दिष्ट्या दृष्टोऽसि सुन्दर ॥ ३६ ॥
kiṃcidevamidaṃ nāma cidākāśe virājate ,

36. idam kiṃcit nāma evam cidākāśe virājate.
namaḥ namaḥ te nistattva.
diṣṭyā sundara asi dṛṣṭaḥ.
36. This very thing, whatever it may be called, thus shines forth in the expanse of consciousness. Salutations, salutations to you, O formless (nistattva) one! Fortunately, you are seen, O beautiful one!
अहो नु संप्रबुद्धोऽस्मि सम्यग्ज्ञातमलं मया ।

37. aho nu aham saṃprabuddhaḥ asmi mayā samyak alam
jñātam namaḥ mahyam anantāya samyak jñānodayāya ca
37. Oh, truly, I am completely awakened; enough has been perfectly understood by me. Salutations to myself, who is infinite, and to the dawn of perfect knowledge.

38. aham vigatarañjananirviṣayasthitiḥ

38. I, whose state is free from all attachments and sense objects, and who has attained a steady, dreamless sleep-like (suṣupta) awareness, then dwell serenely and uniformly within the Self (ātman), which is utterly devoid of the coloring of the illusion of existence (saṃsāra).
