35. I am steadfast in intellect during adversity and a friend to the world during prosperity. I am not attached to either existence or non-existence. Therefore, I live without affliction.

इति मे भावितं चित्तं तेन जीवाम्यनामयः ॥ ३६ ॥

na (asmi) iti me cittam bhāvitam tena anāmayaḥ jīvāmi
36. I am not (this temporary self); nor is anyone else mine; nor do I belong to anyone else. Such is my mind (citta) firmly established. Therefore, I live without affliction.

37. aham jagat aham vyoma aham deśa-kāla-krama-āvaham
aham kriyā iti me buddhiḥ tena anāmayaḥ jīvāmi
37. I am the world, I am space, and I am that which carries space, time, and sequence. "I am action" – such is my intellect (buddhi). Therefore, I live without affliction.

38. A pot is consciousness (cit), also consciousness (cit), a cloth is consciousness (cit). Space is consciousness (cit). A forest, a cart, and consciousness (cit). All is consciousness (cit); this is my understanding, and therefore, I live without ailment.

39. muni-śārdūla iti aham tri-loka-kamala-alikaḥ
nāma bhūśuṇḍaḥ kākolaḥ cira-jīvitaḥ kathitaḥ
39. Thus, O best of sages, I am the crow named Bhūśuṇḍa, who, like a bee, has frequented the lotuses of the three worlds, and I am renowned as long-lived.

40. I have long remained here, observing and contemplating this wave, the three worlds, which is tossed in the ocean of the ultimate reality (brahman), displaying varied forms through its creation and subsequent dissolution, at times merging [into the ultimate reality] and at times rising [from it], a bewildering spectacle to behold.
