एवं भावनयोच्छूनं जातं पश्यति देहकम् । सर्वावयवसम्पन्नं पङ्काद् इव विनिर्मितम्
Thus, seeing the body that has arisen from such contemplation, complete with all its limbs, as if fashioned from mud,
शरीरम् अभिसम्पन्नं पश्यन् प्रोच्छूनवासनम् । परलोकम् अथ स्फारं चिनोत्य् आशु च पश्यति
Observing the body fully formed, with impressions from previous lives manifest, he quickly perceives and recognizes the vast realm of the next world.
ततẖ कतिपयं कालं शेषं दुष्कृतकर्मणाम् । भुक्त्वा सुकृतभोगाय याति पुण्यवतां पदम्
Then, after experiencing for a certain time the remaining results of wrongful actions, he proceeds to enjoy the fruits of virtue and attains the state of the righteous.
तत्रोपरि विमानेषु लोकपालपुरेषु च । मेरूपवनकुञ्जेषु रमते रमणीसखः
There, in celestial palaces and the cities of the guardians of the worlds, in the groves and bowers on Mount Meru, he delights in the company of beloved women.
मन्दारदलदोलासु पुन्नागगहनेषु च । पारिजातवनाग्रेषु रमते रमणीसखः
He enjoys himself with his beloved among the swings of mandara leaves, in the thickets of punnaga trees, and at the edges of parijata groves.
सन्तानकवितानेषु पारिभद्रद्रुमेषु च । कल्पपादपकुञ्जेषु रमते रमणीसखः
He delights with his beloved beneath canopies of santana trees, among paribhadra trees, and in bowers of wish-fulfilling trees.
योगभूमिगता ये ये म्रियन्ते पुरुषोत्तमाः । ते क्षीणदुष्कृता मत्ता रमन्ते सुरसद्मसु
Those supreme persons who die while established in the stages of yoga, their negative deeds exhausted, rejoice in the abodes of the gods, intoxicated with bliss.
स्वास्तीर्णकल्पतरुपल्लवसंस्तरेषु पुष्पावनद्धमृदुहेमलतालयेषु । सम्यक्क्रियास् सुरपुरेषु सहाप्सरोभिर् विद्याधरास् सुरतसारसुखं रमन्ते
On couches spread with the tender leaves of wish-fulfilling trees, in golden bowers entwined with soft garlands of flowers, the Vidyādharas delight in the essence of pleasure, together with celestial nymphs, performing all rituals properly in the cities of the gods.
प्रत्येकम् एवम् उदितḫ पृथक्संसारषण्डकः । ससुरासुरपाताललोकान्तरधराम्बरः
In this way, each individual world-system arises separately, with its gods, demons, netherworlds, and the expanse of earth and sky.
ब्रह्मविष्ण्विन्द्ररुद्राद्या एवम् एव गतास् स्थितिम् । सङ्कल्पात्मान एवेमं सर्गसङ्कल्पम् आश्रिताः
Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Indra, Rudra, and others likewise attain their state, for they are of the nature of thought, relying on this very projection of creation.
ब्रह्मविष्ण्विन्द्ररुद्रादिḫ पूर्वम् एव मनोमयी । मायेयम् उदिता मिथ्या सर्गता कल्पनात्मिका
Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Indra, Rudra, and the rest were previously manifested as mind-made; this illusion, arising falsely, is a creation consisting of imagination.
यद् यद् आलोक्यते किञ्चिन् मायायास् तद् असन् नभः । अन्तरन्तरसारात्मरम्भास्तम्भा इवोदिताः
Whatever is perceived, even a little, in this illusion, is unreal like space; they arise like pillars, established from the essence of inner space.
सङ्कल्पपुरुषा एते ब्रह्मरुद्रेन्द्रकादयः । असत्याश् चैव सत्याश् च चित्त्वाचित्त्वैर् इह स्थिताः
These Brahmā, Rudra, Indra, and others are beings of thought-formation; here, they exist as both unreal and real, with mind and without mind.
भूतं प्रति पृथग्भूतस् सर्गो विकसितस् स्वयम् । सङ्कल्पस्वप्नपुरवन् मनोराज्यवद् आततः
For each being, a distinct creation unfolds by itself, spread out like a city of dreams or a kingdom of imagination, formed by thought.
सर्वगत्वाच् च चिद्धातोर् मिथश् चानुभवभ्रमात् । सर्गेष्व् एतेषु सद्रूपास् समस्ता भूतजातयः
Because consciousness is all-pervading, and due to mutual confusion of experience, all these classes of beings in creation appear to be of the same nature.
सम्मिलन्ति मिथẖ केचिन् निरावरणसंविदः । सर्गाḫ परिणमन्त्य् अन्ये त्व् अपरस्परवेदिनः
Some beings unite with one another, possessing unobstructed awareness; others undergo transformation in creation, yet remain unaware of each other.
काकतालीयवत् केचित् सर्गास् सर्गे पतन्त्य् अपि । देशम् अन्यम् इमं प्राप्ता वयम् इत्य् एव भाविताः
Some creations, like the chance meeting of a crow and a palm tree, fall into other creations; they imagine, 'We have arrived at another place.'
क्रमेणानेन हे राम ते स्वप्नपुरुषा अपि । सङ्कल्पपुरुषाश् चैव सत्याश् चित्त्वाद् अखण्डितात्
By this process, O Rama, even the dream-persons and the persons created by thought are real, because consciousness is indivisible.
चिद्घनं चित्त्वसारत्वाच् चित्त्वम् एवावतिष्ठते । नास्य विघ्नो न वेधो ऽस्ति नान्यता न च नाशिता
Because consciousness is dense and the essence of mind, only mind remains; it has no obstruction, no division, no otherness, and cannot be destroyed.
सङ्कल्पपुरुषास् सत्यास् सत्याश् च स्वप्नविभ्रमाः । वर्तमानार्थकारित्वान् नेह किञ्चिद् असन्मयम्
Persons created by thought are real, and so are the confusions of dreams; since they produce present effects, nothing here is unreal.
परस्परम् अलभ्यत्वाद् यन् नार्थाय न वस्तु तत् । सत्यम् अस्माकम् अप्य् एष देशान्तरनरो यथा
Because things cannot be attained mutually, what is not an object for one is not a thing; yet for us, this is true, just as with a man from another land.
यद् यथा येन यत्रास्ति तत् तथा तेन तत्र तत् । नात्र सत्ये सदसती तेनालं मौनवान् भव
Whatever exists, in whatever way, by whomever, wherever, that is so for them there; in this truth, there is neither real nor unreal, so be silent.
जगत् स्वभावतो नास्ति यच् चेदं परिदृश्यते । तत् सर्वं ब्रह्मसत्तैव प्रेक्षितं वा न किञ्चन
The world does not exist by its own nature; whatever is seen here, all of that is only the reality of Brahman, or, if not perceived, then nothing at all.
ब्रवीम्य् अभ्युपगम्यापि सर्गादि यदि विद्यते । तद् एतज् जठरं ब्राह्मं विद्धि तत्कचनात्मकम्
Even if, for the sake of discussion, creation and the like are accepted to exist, know that all this is the womb of Brahman, composed only of its own essence.
यथान्तर् इक्षोर् माधुर्यं तैक्ष्ण्यं च मरिचादिषु । तथान्तर् ब्रह्मणो दृश्यम् अहन्तादि जगत्त्रयम्
Just as within sugarcane there is sweetness and sharpness in its rays, so within Brahman are seen the three worlds, ego, and the rest.
अहं जगद् दृश्यम् इति शब्दार्थैḫ परिवर्जितम् । अखण्डितम् इदं सत्यम् इदंशब्दार्थवर्जितम्
The notions 'I', 'world', and 'seen' are devoid of word and meaning; this undivided reality is true, and is free from any designation by word or meaning.
द्यौẖ क्षमा वायुर् आकाशं पर्वतास् सरितो दिशः । सतो ऽनवयवस्यापि भागा बहिर् अवस्थिताः
Heaven, earth, wind, space, mountains, rivers, and directions—all these are outwardly established parts of the existent, though it is without parts.
पुरुषं प्रति सङ्कल्पात् सर्गो हृदि विजृम्भते । साद्रिद्यूर्वीनदीशांशẖ कौशे रस इवाङ्कुरे
For a person, by the power of imagination, creation unfolds in the heart, with its mountains, earth, rivers, and portions, like sap in a sprout.
संवित् स्वोदरसंलीनं खात्मका खात्मकं जगत् । यथाभिरुचितेनान्तर् भोगेनास्वादयत्य् अलम्
Consciousness, absorbed in its own interior essence, enjoys the world, which is of the nature of space, in whatever way it pleases, through inner experience.
न स्वप्ने गम्यते देशो न देशो हृदम् एति वा । न जाग्रति बहिर्देशो न जाग्रद् देशवर्ति वा
In dream, no place is traversed, nor does any place enter the heart; in waking, there is no external place, nor does one abide in any place while awake.
