Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: Maṅki, who had (previously) asserted "mine" (out of attachment), prostrated himself at his feet. With eyes full of joy, he then uttered these words, which lead one on the path (of spiritual knowledge).

Maṅki said: "O revered one, I have extensively roamed the ten directions, as if with (many) eyes, yet a wise person (sādhu) capable of dispelling doubts has not been found by me."

Maṅki said: "O revered one, today I (have received) the fruit of the very essence of all bodies, yet I am distressed seeing the conditions that bring forth the defects of transmigration (saṃsāra)."

The delusion of pleasure and pain is constantly arising and ceasing. This is because all experiences, without exception, inevitably lead to suffering in the end.
सुखान्येवातिदुःखानि वरं दुःखान्यतो मुने ।
दृढदुःखवदन्तत्वाद्दुःखयन्ति सुखानि माम् ॥ ५ ॥

O sage, pleasures are truly great pains; therefore, suffering is preferable. This is because pleasures cause me pain by inevitably ending in intense suffering.
तथा राम यथा दुःखमेव मे सुखतां गतम् ।
वयोदशनलोमान्त्रैः सह जर्जरतां गतम् ॥ ६ ॥
वयोदशनलोमान्त्रैः सह जर्जरतां गतम् ॥ ६ ॥

6.
Indeed, Rama, just as suffering itself has become pleasure for me, so too has (my body) undergone decay along with my age, teeth, hair, and intestines.

An intellect, even when in a high position, if it is prone to downfall, lacks resolve. Similarly, a beautiful shoot becomes obscured due to unwholesome intentions and does not radiate its brilliance.

8.
The mind (manaḥ) is like a hollow in a dilapidated village, overgrown with pipal leaves. Its condition (sthitiḥ) is perpetually wretched, as if constantly besieged by vultures carrying subtle impressions (vāsanā).

The intellect (matiḥ) is terrifyingly crooked and complex, like a thorny vine. It is also like a night, blinded by darkness and filled with the weariness and struggle of life.
अक्षीवानागतालोकं क्षीणं संततचिन्तया ।

kiñcit rasam na ādatte api naṣṭā iva na naśyati
kiñcit rasam na ādatte api naṣṭā iva na naśyati
10.
The intellect (matiḥ), devoid of insight into the future and wasted by constant worry, derives no essence or joy (rasa). Even though it appears destroyed, it does not truly perish.

12.
Among people, life (jīvitam) becomes worn out, yet the ocean of existence (saṃsāra) is never crossed. Day by day, the desire for worldly enjoyments (bhoga), which is fear-inducing, only swells.

13.
Truly, the great perils of prosperity (lakṣmī) cause one to waste away whether in abundance or scarcity, like a tree caught in a pit of thorns, and they produce afflictions born of anxiety's fever.

Even when seemingly complete and unimpaired, she (wealth/lakṣmī) manifests herself through deception, like a dark hollow, or like a brilliant one that glitters with gems inside.

15.
My mind (cetaḥ) is turbulent with surging waves, empty, and as unfortunate as a dried-up ocean. Discerning individuals do not associate with me, who am solely devoted to the objects of the senses.

16.
Discerning individuals do not associate with me, who, like a thorny Śleṣmātaka tree standing amidst impurity, am truly insubstantial despite my grand undertakings, and am unstable like an Arjuna tree swaying in the wind.

The mind, not having attained its cessation, remains empty and constantly agitated, plunging into sorrow. It is like a night that bears only the faint moon and stars of contact with scriptures and virtuous individuals, failing to dispel its inherent darkness.

The night of ignorance (ajñānayāminī), with the ego (ahaṃbhāva) shining like a celestial female (yakṣā), is not diminishing. This ego (ahaṃbhāva) is like a fierce lion amidst the intoxicated elephants of ignorance's darkness, and it is a blazing fire to the grass of actions (karma).

The sun that would dispel mental disturbances has not risen, and thus there is no destruction of the night of subtle impressions (vāsanā). The unreal is perceived as real, and the mind, like an elephant, is utterly intoxicated.

The senses (indriya) are tearing me apart; I do not know what will happen. Even the wise have not resorted to that scriptural insight (śāstradṛṣṭi) which is meant for crossing over (saṃsāra) to liberation.

She, too, like a blind person absorbed in deep meditation, causes the intense influx of mental impressions (vāsanā). Therefore, dear father, please tell me, who am asking, what action should be taken in this terrible and profoundly deluding situation for the ultimate good.

Just as mists of delusion (moha) subside in autumn when a virtuous person (sādhu) is present, all directions (āśāḥ) become clear. May this truthful speech, praised by noble people, be realized through your instruction, for you bestow peace from worldly existence (saṃsāra).
