अभोगकृपणं शान्तम् ऊर्जितं समतां गतम् । गम्भीरं च प्रसन्नं च चेतः पश्यामि ते प्रिये
I see your mind, dear one, free from enjoyment, peaceful, strong, established in equanimity, profound and serene.
तृणीकृतत्रिभुवनं पीताखिलजगत्त्रयम् । अनन्तोद्भासुरं सौम्यं मनः पश्यामि ते प्रिये
I see your mind, dear one, that regards the three worlds as straw, that has absorbed all the worlds, infinite, radiant, and gentle.
न केनचिन् महाभागे विभवानन्दवस्तुना । चेतस् तव तुलाम् एति मेरुक्षीराब्धिसुन्दरम्
O greatly fortunate one, your mind, beautiful as Meru, the ocean, and the moon, is not equaled by any wealth or joy whatsoever.
तैर् एव बालकदलीमृणालाङ्कुरकोमलैः । अङ्गैस् स्थितिम् अनुज्झद्भिर् वृद्धिं यातेव लक्ष्यसे
With limbs as soft as young plantain, lotus stalks, and sprouts, and retaining their grace, you appear as if you are growing ever more radiant.
तथा तेनैव तेनैव सन्निवेशेन संस्थिता । अन्यताम् उपयातासि लतेवर्तुविपर्यये
In the same way, with that very same arrangement, you have remained—yet you have assumed another form, like a creeper at the change of season.
किं त्वया पीतम् अमृतं प्राप्तं साम्राज्यम् एव वा । अमृत्यवे वा सम्प्राप्तः प्रयोगो योगयुक्तिभिः
Have you drunk the nectar of immortality, or attained sovereignty itself? Or have you, by yogic methods, achieved some means to conquer death?
राज्याच् चिन्तामणेर् वापि त्रैलोक्याद् वा त्वयाधिकम् । अप्राप्यं किम् अनुप्राप्तं नीलोत्पलविलोचने
O blue-lotus-eyed one, what unattainable thing have you obtained—something greater than a kingdom, or the wish-fulfilling gem, or even the three worlds?
नकिञ्चित् किञ्चिदाकारम् इदं त्यक्त्वाहम् आगता । नकिञ्चित्किञ्चिदाकारं तेनास्मि श्रीमती स्थिता
Having abandoned this nothingness that appears as something, I have come; and by that, I, the fortunate one, remain established in that which is nothing yet appears as something.
यत् किञ्चिद् यन् नकिञ्चिच् च तज् जानामि यथास्थितम् । यथोदयं यथानाशं तेनास्मि श्रीमती स्थिता
I know whatever is something and whatever is nothing, just as they are—how they arise and how they cease; by that, I, the fortunate one, remain established.
भोगैर् अभुक्तैस् तुष्यामि भुक्तैर् इव सुदूरगैः । न हृष्यामि न कुप्यामि तेनास्मि श्रीमती स्थिता
I am content with enjoyments not experienced, just as with those enjoyed from afar; I neither rejoice nor become angry—by that, I, the fortunate one, remain established.
एकैवाकाशसङ्काशे केवले हृदये रमे । न रमे राजलीलासु तेनास्मि श्रीमती स्थिता
I delight alone in the heart, which is like the sky, solitary and pure; I do not delight in royal amusements—by that, I, the fortunate one, remain established.
आत्मन्य् एव हि तिष्ठामि न वनोद्यानसद्मसु । न भोगौघेषु शय्यासु तेनास्मि श्रीमती स्थिता
I abide only in the Self, not in forests, gardens, or palaces, nor in heaps of enjoyments or on beds—by that, I, the fortunate one, remain established.
जगतां प्रभुर् एवास्मि नकिञ्चिन्मात्ररूपिणी । इत्य् आत्मन्य् एव तिष्ठामि तेनाहं श्रीमती स्थिता
I am indeed the master of the worlds, yet I am of the nature of mere nothingness; thus I abide in myself alone, and by this I remain truly blessed.
अन्यैवाहम् इयं नाहम् अन्या चेयं च वाप्य् अहम् । सर्वम् अस्मि नकिञ्चिद् वा तेनाहं श्रीमती स्थिता
I am other than this, and this is not myself; yet this too may be myself, or I may be all, or nothing at all; thus I remain truly blessed.
यत् पश्यामि न पश्यामि तत् पश्याम्य् अन्यद् एव यत् । इति सम्यक् प्रपश्यामि तेनाहं श्रीमती स्थिता
What I see, I do not see; what I perceive is something else entirely; thus I perceive rightly, and by this I remain truly blessed.
न सुखं प्रार्थये नार्थं नानर्थं चेतरां स्थितिम् । यथाप्रप्तेन तुष्यामि तेनाहं श्रीमती स्थिता
I do not desire pleasure, nor wealth, nor misfortune, nor any other state; I am content with whatever comes, and by this I remain truly blessed.
तनुविद्वेषरागाभिस् तज्ज्ञाभिश् शास्त्रदृष्टिषु । रमे सह वयस्याभिस् तेनास्मि श्रीमती स्थिता
With companions who are free from attachment and aversion to the body, who possess such knowledge and see according to scripture, I delight; and by this I remain truly blessed.
पश्यामि यन् नयनरश्मिभिर् इन्द्रियैर् वा चित्तेन चेह हि तद् अङ्ग न किञ्चिद् एव । पश्यामि तद्विरहितं तु नकिञ्चिदाभं पश्यामि सम्यग् इति नाथ चिरोदयास्मि
Whatever I see here with the rays of my eyes, with the senses, or with the mind, O Lord, is truly nothing at all; what I see is devoid of that, appearing as nothing; thus, I perceive rightly and have long since attained illumination.
एवम् आत्मनि विश्रान्तां वदन्तीं तां वराननाम् । असम्बद्धप्रलापासि बालासीति वदञ् शनैः
As she spoke thus, resting in herself, that beautiful-faced one, he gently said, 'You speak disconnected words, like a child.'
भोगलम्पटया बुद्ध्या मुग्धाम् आशङ्क्य तां प्रियाम् । अबुद्ध्वा तद्गिराम् अर्थं विहस्योवाच भूपतिः
Suspecting his beloved to be naive, with a mind greedy for enjoyment, and not understanding the meaning of her words, the king laughed and spoke.
असम्बद्धप्रलापासि बालासि वरवर्णिनि । रमसे वाक्यलीलाभी रमस्वावनिपात्मजे
O beautiful one, you are uttering incoherent words like a child; you delight in the play of speech—so delight in the son of the earth as well.
किञ्चित् त्यक्त्वा नकिञ्चिद् यो गतः प्रत्यक्षसंस्थितम् । त्यक्तप्रत्यक्षसद्रूपस् स कथं किल शोभते
One who, having abandoned something, has gone to nothingness and remains established in the evident, having given up the true nature of the evident—how indeed does he shine?
भोगैर् अभुक्तैस् तुष्टो ऽहम् इति भोगाञ् जहाति यः । रुषेवाशनपानाद्यान् स कथं किल शोभते
He who, satisfied with enjoyments not yet experienced, abandons pleasures—like one angry with food and drink—how indeed does he shine?
वाहनाशनशय्यादि सर्वं सन्त्यज्य धीरधीः । यस् तिष्ठत्य् आत्मनैवैकस् स कथं किल शोभते
He whose firm intellect abandons all, such as vehicles, food, beds, and stands alone by himself—how indeed does he shine?
स्वयं नकिञ्चिद् एवाहं जगदीशो ऽस्मि चेति च । निश्चयो यस्य दुर्बुद्धेस् स कथं किल शोभते
He whose conviction is, 'I am nothing at all, yet I am the lord of the world,' though his intellect is weak—how indeed does he shine?
आत्मन्य् एवात्मनैकान्ते त्यक्तसर्वसमागमः । यस् स्थितश् श्वभ्रतरुवत् स कथं किल शोभते
He who, having abandoned all association, remains alone within himself, like a pit—how indeed does he shine?
नाहं देहो ऽन्यद् एवाहं नकिञ्चित् सर्वम् एव हि । एवं प्रलापो यस्यास्ति स कथं किल शोभते
He who says, 'I am not the body, I am something else, I am nothing, yet I am everything'—how indeed does he shine, whose speech is like this?
यत् पश्यामि न पश्यामि तत् पश्याम्य् अन्यद् एव यत् । प्रलाप इत्य् असन् यस्य स कथं किल शोभते
He who says, 'What I see, I do not see; what I see is something else'—whose speech is thus false—how indeed does he shine?
तस्मान् मुग्धासि बालासि चपलासि विलासिनि । नानालापविलासेन क्रीडसि क्रीड सुन्दरि
Therefore, you are innocent, childlike, restless, and playful; you engage in various conversations and amusements, playing, O beautiful one.
प्रविहस्याट्टहासेन शिखिध्वज इति प्रियाम् । मध्याह्ने स्नातुम् उत्थाय निर्जगामाङ्गनागृहात्
With loud laughter, saying 'Śikhidhvaja,' his beloved, at midday, rose to bathe and departed from the women's quarters.
