अष्टावक्र उवाच
न ते संगोऽस्ति केनापि
किं शुद्धस्त्यक्तुमिच्छसि ।
संघातविलयं कुर्वन्-
नेवमेव लयं व्रज ॥
"Ashtavakra said: You are not bound by anything. What does a pure person like you need to renounce? Putting the complex organism to rest, you can find peace."
उदेति भवतो विश्वं
वारिधेरिव बुद्बुदः ।
इति ज्ञात्वैकमात्मानं
एवमेव लयं व्रज ॥
"All this arises out of you, like a bubble out of the sea. Knowing yourself like this to be but one, you can find peace."
प्रत्यक्षमप्यवस्तुत्वाद्
विश्वं नास्त्यमले त्वयि ।
रज्जुसर्प इव व्यक्तं
एवमेव लयं व्रज ॥
"In spite of being in front of your eyes, all this, being insubstantial, does not exist in you, spotless as you are. It is an appearance like the snake in a rope, so you can find peace."
समदुःखसुखः पूर्ण
आशानैराश्ययोः समः ।
समजीवितमृत्युः सन्-
नेवमेव लयं व्रज ॥
"Equal in pain and in pleasure, equal in hope and in disappointment, equal in life and in death, and complete as you are, you can find peace."
