आलोकिता लोकदशा दृष्टा दृष्टान्तदृष्टयः । नूनं सन्त्यक्तम् अस्माकं मनसा चञ्चलं वपुः
The conditions of the world have been observed, various examples have been seen; surely, our restless mind and body have been abandoned.
अनारतनिजालोके नित्यं चापरितापिनि । कल्पागस्योपरि सदा वेद्मि कालकलागतिम्
In my own realm, ever free from sorrow and uninterrupted, I always perceive the movement of time above the span of ages.
रत्नगुच्छप्रकाशाढ्ये ब्रह्मन् कल्पलतागृहे । प्राणापानप्रवाहेण वेद्मि कालम् अखण्डितम्
In the house of the wish-fulfilling vine, radiant with clusters of gems, O Brahman, through the flow of breath I perceive time as unbroken.
अविज्ञातदिवारात्रे ऽप्य् अस्मिन्न् उच्चैश् शिलोच्चये । जानामि निजया बुद्ध्या लोककालक्रमस्थितिम्
Even when day and night are unknown in this lofty mountain peak, I know, by my own understanding, the order and progression of worldly time.
सारासारपरिच्छेदि बोधाद् विश्रान्तिम् आगतम् । निरस्तचापलं शान्तं जातम् एव मुने मनः
Through discernment that distinguishes essence from non-essence, the mind, O sage, has attained rest, become peaceful, and is free from restlessness.
संसारव्यवहारोत्थैर् आशापाशैर् असन्मयैः । उद्गालैर् इव भूकाको न वैवश्यं व्रजाम्य् अहम्
From the bonds of hope arising from worldly dealings, which are unreal, I do not fall into agitation, like an owl unaffected by the gusts of wind.
परोपशमधर्मिण्या वयम् आलोकशीतया । पश्यन्तो जागतीं मायां धिया धैर्यम् उपागताः
With minds inclined toward tranquility, we, cooled by the light of awareness, behold the world’s illusion and gain steadfastness through understanding.
भीमास्व् अपि महाबुद्धे दशास्व् अचलबुद्धयः । बिभिमो नोपलाकारास् सम्प्राप्तासु यथाक्रमम्
Even in dreadful circumstances, O great-minded one, our minds remain unmoved; we do not tremble or change form as these states arise in due course.
इयम् आरम्भसुभगा तरला जागती स्थितिः । भूयो भूयः परामृष्टा नेह किञ्चन सन्मयम्
This worldly existence, though delightful at its outset, is fickle; examined again and again, nothing here is found to be truly real.
सर्वाण्य् एव प्रयान्त्य् एव समायान्ति च वा न वा । भगवन् भूतजालानि भयम् अस्माकम् अत्र किम्
All beings, O venerable one, either depart or arrive—or perhaps not; what fear can there be for us in this multitude of living things?
भूतजालतरङ्गिण्या विशन्त्याः कालसागरम् । वयं संसारसरितस् तटस्था अप्य् अनाकुलाः
As the river of beings flows toward the ocean of time, we, though standing on the shore of worldly existence, remain undisturbed.
नोज्झामो न च गृह्णीमस् तिष्ठामो नैव च स्थिताः । मृदवो ऽपि भृशं क्रूरा वयम् अस्मिन् द्रुमे स्थिताः
We neither abandon nor grasp, nor do we remain fixed; though gentle, we are exceedingly firm, standing steady on this tree.
वीतशोकभयायासैस् त्वादृशैः पुरुषोत्तमैः । तुष्टैर् अनुगृहीतास् स्मस् संस्थिता विगतज्वराः
Freed from sorrow, fear, and fatigue, supported by the contentment of noble ones like you, we stand established, free from all distress.
नेतश् चेतश् च पर्यस्तं लुलितं न च वृत्तिषु । नापरामृष्टतत्त्वार्थम् अस्माकं भगवन् मनः
Our mind, O venerable one, is neither scattered nor agitated in its functions; it does not dwell on anything other than the essence of truth.
निर्विकारे गतक्षोभे स्वात्मन्य् उपशमं गते । अतरङ्गाः प्रपूर्णास् स्मः पर्वणीव महाब्धयः
When all agitation has ceased, and the mind rests in its own undisturbed nature, we become, like the ocean at the full moon, complete and without waves.
भवदागमनाद् ब्रह्मन्न् इदानीं मुदिताशयाः । फलिताशेषसङ्कल्पाः परमां पूर्णतां गताः
O Brahman, with your arrival, our hearts are now filled with joy; all our intentions have come to fruition, and we have attained the highest fullness.
रसायनमयी शीता परमानन्ददायिनी । नानन्दयति कं नाम साधुसङ्गतिचन्द्रिका
The moonlight of holy company is cool, bestowing supreme bliss and like an elixir; whom does it not delight?
सत्सङ्गमानन्दरसः केनायम् उपमीयते । मन्दरोद्धूतसर्वाम्बुः क्षीरोदो येन खर्व्यते
With what can the blissful essence of holy company be compared? Who can exhaust the ocean of milk churned by Mandara, as it overflows with all waters?
नातः परतरं किञ्चिन् मन्ये कुशलम् आत्मनः । सन्तो यद् अनुगम्यन्ते सन्त्यक्तसकलैषणम्
I consider nothing more beneficial for oneself than following the wise, who have abandoned all desires.
आपातमात्ररम्येभ्यो भोगेभ्यः किम् अवाप्यते । सत्सङ्गचिन्तामणितस् सर्वं सारम् अवाप्यते
What is truly gained from pleasures that are charming only at first glance? From the wish-fulfilling gem of holy company, all that is essential is attained.
स्निग्धगम्भीरमसृणमधुरोदारधीरवाक् । त्रैलोक्यपद्मकोशे ऽस्मिंस् त्वम् एकष् षट्पदायसे
You alone, with speech that is gentle, deep, smooth, sweet, noble, and steady, are the bee in this lotus of the three worlds.
अधिगतपरमात्मनो ऽपि मन्ये भवदवलोकनशान्तदुष्कृतस्य । मम सफलम् इहाद्य जन्म साधो सकलभयापहरो हि साधुसङ्गः
Even for one who has realized the Supreme Self, I think that beholding you, whose sins are calmed, makes my birth fruitful today, O noble one; for the company of the good removes all fear.
युगक्षोभेषु घोरेषु वात्यासु विषमासु च । सुस्थिरः कल्पवृक्षो ऽयं न कदाचन कम्पते
This wish-fulfilling tree remains steady and unmoved, even in the terrible upheavals of the ages and in fierce, violent storms.
अगम्यो ऽयं समग्राणां लोकान्तरविहारिणाम् । भूतानां तेन तिष्ठामस् सुखम् अस्मिन् वनस्पतौ
This tree is inaccessible to all beings who roam other worlds; therefore, we dwell happily in its shade.
हिरण्याक्षो धरापीठं द्वीपसप्तकवेष्टितम् । यदा जहार तरसा नाकम्पत तदा द्रुमः
When Hiraṇyākṣa forcefully seized the earth, encircled by its seven islands, even then this tree did not tremble.

When Nārāyaṇa, embracing Meru with his arms, lifted up the Mandara mountain, even then this tree did not tremble.
उन्मूलिताद्रीन्द्रशिला यदोत्पातानिला ववुः । आधूतमेरुतरवस् तदा नाकम्पत द्रुमः
When storms uprooted mountains and blew away their peaks, and the roar of Meru was shaken, even then this tree did not tremble.
