25. Then, having emerged from that deep sleep, I, endowed with that latent impression (vāsanā) and situated in my own splendor, saw exactly such an end of the eon (kalpānta).

viṭapāt patra ādi iva
28. The sky, earth, wind, space, mountains, rivers, and directions – all these arose from my consciousness (cetas), just as leaves and so forth emerge from a tree.
ततस्तस्मिंस्तथा दृष्टे भूतले तैः पदार्थकैः ।
व्यवहारं प्रवृत्तोऽहं किंचिद्विस्मृतधीरितः ॥ २९ ॥

29. tatas tasmin tathā dṛṣṭe bhūtale taiḥ padārthakaiḥ
kiñcit vismṛtadhīḥ itaḥ aham vyavahāram pravṛttaḥ

eṣa mama pitā,
iyam mātā,
ca idam āspadam iti me pratimoda abhūt.
30. Today, sixteen years have passed since my birth. 'This is my father, this is my mother, and this is the dwelling place' – such thoughts brought joy (pratimoda) to me.
अपश्यं ग्रामकं कंचित्कंचिच्च ब्राह्मणाश्रमम् ।
किंचिद्गेहं तथा कश्चिद्वन्धुः कस्मिंश्चिदाश्रमे ॥ ३१ ॥

tathā kiñcit gehaṃ ca kaścit bandhuḥ kasmin cit āśrame
31. I saw some small village, and also some hermitage of brahmins. Likewise, I saw some house and a certain relative in some hermitage.
अथ मे तिष्ठतः सार्धं बन्धुभिर्ग्राममन्दिरे ।
अहोरात्रेषु गच्छत्सु जाग्रदादींस्तदेव सत् ॥ ३२ ॥
atha me tiṣṭhataḥ sārdhaṃ bandhubhirgrāmamandire ,
ahorātreṣu gacchatsu jāgradādīṃstadeva sat 32
32. atha me tiṣṭhataḥ sārdhaṃ bandhubhiḥ grāmamandire
ahorātreṣu gacchatṣu jāgrad-ādīn tat eva sat
32. atha me bandhubhiḥ sārdhaṃ grāmamandire tiṣṭhataḥ
ahorātreṣu gacchatṣu tat eva sat jāgrad-ādīn
32. Then, as I remained with my relatives in the village house, and as days and nights passed, my existence (sat) was reduced to just those states like waking and the rest.
ततः कालवशात्तत्र प्राक्तनी बोधधीर्मम ।
विस्मृता तादृशाभ्यासादहो तस्येव मत्स्यता ॥ ३३ ॥

33. tataḥ tatra kālavaśāt mama prāktanī bodhadhīḥ
vismṛtā tādṛśābhyāsāt aho tasya iva matsyatā
33. Then, due to the influence of time, my previous enlightened understanding (bodhadhī) was forgotten there, because of such habituation (abhyāsa). Alas, it was like a fish's nature (matsyatā) [which makes it forget its past]!
इत्यहं ग्रामवास्तव्यः संपन्नो ब्राह्मणस्तदा ।
देहमात्रकबद्धास्थो दूरीकृतविवेकभूः ॥ ३४ ॥
ityahaṃ grāmavāstavyaḥ saṃpanno brāhmaṇastadā ,

34. iti aham grāmavāstavyaḥ sampannaḥ brāhmaṇaḥ
tadā dehamātrakabaddhāsthaḥ dūrīkṛtavivekabhūḥ
34. iti aham tadā grāmavāstavyaḥ brāhmaṇaḥ sampannaḥ
dehamātrakabaddhāsthaḥ dūrīkṛtavivekabhūḥ
34. Thus, I became a brahmin dwelling in the village, with my attachment fixed solely on the physical body, and having removed the very ground of my discernment (viveka).
शरीरमात्रात्मवपुर्दारमात्रानुरञ्जितः ।
