एतस्मिन्नन्तरे ध्याने विचार्य मुनिपुङ्गवः ।
मृगं विलोकितैः क्षीणपापं कुर्वन्नुवाच ह ॥ ११ ॥

15. sabhyeṣu paśyatsu eva saḥ mṛgaḥ atha naratām agāt
yathā nabhasi abhra lavaḥ jvālōdare rūpāntaram agāt
15. As the assembly members (sabhya) watched, that deer then transformed into a human, much like a fragment of cloud in the sky changes its form within the heart of a flame.

varuṇaḥ mahāmbhasi iva vā śaśī sandhyābhraḥ iva
17. He (appeared) like the sun-god (Āditya) in the solar disc, or like the moon (uḍupa) in the lunar disc; or like Varuṇa in the great waters, or even like the moon (śaśī) in a twilight cloud.

pratibimbaḥ iva arkābhaḥ bhaktiḥ anādhāra-pāvakaḥ
18. Just as a reflection, brilliant like the sun, appears without a base in the pupil of the eye, in a mirror, in water, or in a jewel, so too is devotion (bhakti) a fire without a base.

iva āhataḥ kva api yayau sandhyā-ambudaḥ ambarāt iva
19. Afterwards, like a lamp buffeted by winds, a mass of flames departed from the midst of the assembly and went somewhere, just as an evening cloud vanishes from the sky.

22. sabhya uktyā tasya veṣasya bhāsanāt "aho bhā" iti,
bhāsvān iva viśālābhaḥ eṣaḥ iti bhāsaḥ śabditaḥ
22. "Oh, what brilliance!" - because of this exclamation from the assembly and the radiant glow of his attire, he, whose splendor was as vast as the sun's, became known as "Bhāsa."

23. asau mūrtaḥ iva ābhāsaḥ bhāsa nāmnā bhaviṣyati,
iti sabhāsthaiḥ kaiścid uktam; tena saḥ bhāsaḥ ucyate
23. "This one, like an embodied manifestation, will be known by the name Bhāsa." - some individuals present in the assembly declared this. Therefore, he is referred to as Bhāsa.
अथोपविश्य तत्रैव स भासो ध्यानसंस्थितः ।
आत्मोदन्तमशेषेण सस्मार प्राक्तनं तनौ ॥ २४ ॥

samutthāya sabhām ālokayāmāsa yathākramam

iti udāharat jñānārkaprāṇada brahman namaste astu
27. And he, having approached, joyfully offered a salutation to Vasiṣṭha. He then declared, "O Brāhmaṇa, giver of life like the sun of knowledge, salutations to you!"
तमुवाच वसिष्ठोऽपि हस्तेन शिरसि स्पृशन् ।

28. vasiṣṭhaḥ api hastena śirasi spṛśan tam uvāca
rājan adya sucirāt te avidyāyāḥ kṣayaḥ astu iti
28. Vasiṣṭha also, touching him on the head with his hand, said to him, "O king, today, after a long time, may there be the destruction of your ignorance (avidyā)."

29. atha daśarathaḥ āsanāt kiñcit uttiṣṭhan hasan
iva tam natam rāmam jaya iti jalpantam samuvāca
29. Then Daśaratha, rising slightly from his seat, spoke to him (Rāma), who was bowed down and murmuring 'Victory to Rāma!', as if smiling.

33. aho nu asamyak bodha durdṛṣṭeḥ viṣamā gatiḥ
eṣā vyomni iva sargāḍambarasaṃbhramam darśayati
33. Oh, indeed, what a difficult path or state (gati) is there for one whose vision is distorted by imperfect understanding! This (ignorance) reveals the bewildering illusion of the grand display of creation (sarga), as if it were manifested in the sky.
कियन्त्याश्चर्यमेतानि जगन्ति विततात्मनि ।
संततानि चिरं तानि विभ्रान्तानि विपश्चिता ॥ ३४ ॥
kiyantyāścaryametāni jaganti vitatātmani ,
saṃtatāni ciraṃ tāni vibhrāntāni vipaścitā 34
34. kīyantyāścaryam etāni jaganti vitatātmani |

34. kīyantyāścaryam etāni jaganti vitatātmani
saṃtatāni tāni ciraṃ vipaścitā vibhrāntāni
34. How astonishing are these worlds, spread out within the all-pervading Self (ātman)! For a long time, these very worlds have been a source of bewilderment even for the wise.
व्योमात्मनोऽपि महिमायमहो नु कीदृगस्य स्वभावविभवस्य चिदात्मवृत्तेः ।
यः शून्य एव परमात्मघनेऽम्बरेऽन्तरेवंविधानि विविधानि जगन्ति भान्ति ॥ ३५ ॥
vyomātmano'pi mahimāyamaho nu kīdṛgasya svabhāvavibhavasya cidātmavṛtteḥ ,
yaḥ śūnya eva paramātmaghane'mbare'ntarevaṃvidhāni vividhāni jaganti bhānti 35
35. vyomātmanaḥ api mahimā ayam aho nu kīdṛk
asya svabhāvavibhavasya cidātmavṛtteḥ |
yaḥ śūnyaḥ eva paramātmaghane ambare antare
evaṃvidhāni vividhāni jaganti bhānti ||
35. aho nu! vyomātmanaḥ api asya cidātmavṛtteḥ svabhāvavibhavasya ayam mahimā kīdṛk? yaḥ paramātmaghane ambare antare eva śūnyaḥ,
[tatra] evaṃvidhāni vividhāni jaganti bhānti
35. Oh, what indeed is the nature of this greatness, this inherent splendor (svabhāvavibhava) of the conscious Self's (ātman) activity (cidātma-vṛtti), which is like the sky (vyomātman)? For it is within this supreme Self (paramātman), which is itself utterly void (śūnya eva) and dense (ghane ambare) like space, that such various worlds appear to shine.
