35. Within him, a consciousness (saṃvitti) that possessed the intrinsic nature (ātman) of the supreme swan (brahmahaṃsa), and which was slightly endowed with meaning through words, became nourished there, just like a peacock feather vibrant with rich colors.
स तच्चिन्तां चरन्मृतो दृढं व्याधिघुणाहतः ।
तत्संवित्त्यनुसंधानाज्जातः पद्मजसारसः ॥ ३६ ॥

36. saḥ tat cintām caran dṛḍham vyādhighuṇāhataḥ
mṛtaḥ tatsaṃvittyanusandhānāt padmajasārasaḥ jātaḥ
36. Thinking of that (consciousness (saṃvitti)), he died, having been severely afflicted by disease and worms. Through the continuous recollection (anusandhāna) of that consciousness (saṃvitti), he was born as a crane from a lotus (padmaja-sārasa).
तत्रातिसततविवेकवतो विलासैः संबोधितो विगतलौकिकवस्तुदृष्टिः ।
मुक्तः स्थितो ननु युगान्तविधौ विदेहमुक्तेन तेन किमु भावि विभाव्यमेतत् ॥ ३७ ॥

37. One who, in that state, possesses constant, profound discernment, and whose perception of worldly objects has vanished, becomes awakened by diverse manifestations and remains truly liberated. Indeed, what further experience or consideration could there possibly be for such a bodilessly liberated one (videhamukta) at the time of cosmic dissolution?
