ब्राह्मण उवाच॥
The Brāhmaṇa said.
नाहं तथा भीरु चरामि लोके; तथा त्वं मां तर्कयसे स्वबुद्ध्या। विप्रोऽस्मि मुक्तोऽस्मि वनेचरोऽस्मि; गृहस्थधर्मा ब्रह्मचारी तथास्मि ॥१४-३३-१॥
I do not act so fearfully in the world as you judge me to be with your own understanding. I am a Brāhmaṇa, I am liberated, I am a forest-dweller; I am one with the duties of a householder and also a celibate. (14-33-1)
नाहमस्मि यथा मां त्वं पश्यसे चक्षुषा शुभे। मया व्याप्तमिदं सर्वं यत्किञ्चिज्जगतीगतम् ॥१४-३३-२॥
O auspicious one, I am not as you see me with your eyes. All this, whatever exists in the world, is pervaded by me. (14-33-2)
ये केचिज्जन्तवो लोके जङ्गमाः स्थावराश्च ह। तेषां मामन्तकं विद्धि दारूणामिव पावकम् ॥१४-३३-३॥
Know me as the destroyer of all living beings, moving and stationary, in this world—just as fire is (the destroyer) of wood. (14-33-3)
राज्यं पृथिव्यां सर्वस्यामथ वापि त्रिविष्टपे। तथा बुद्धिरियं वेत्ति बुद्धिरेव धनं मम ॥१४-३३-४॥
Whether it is the kingdom over the whole earth or even in heaven—thus, this intellect knows that intellect alone is my wealth. (14-33-4)
एकः पन्था ब्राह्मणानां येन गच्छन्ति तद्विदः। गृहेषु वनवासेषु गुरुवासेषु भिक्षुषु ॥ लिङ्गैर्बहुभिरव्यग्रैरेका बुद्धिरुपास्यते ॥१४-३३-५॥
There is one path for the brāhmaṇas by which the wise proceed—whether in houses, in forest retreats, in the dwellings of teachers, or among ascetics. Through many unperturbed characteristics, the one intellect is worshipped. (14-33-5)
नानालिङ्गाश्रमस्थानां येषां बुद्धिः शमात्मिका। ते भावमेकमायान्ति सरितः सागरं यथा ॥१४-३३-६॥
Those whose minds are tranquil, regardless of their different marks, stages of life, and places, attain the same state, just as rivers reach the ocean. (14-33-6)
बुद्ध्यायं गम्यते मार्गः शरीरेण न गम्यते। आद्यन्तवन्ति कर्माणि शरीरं कर्मबन्धनम् ॥१४-३३-७॥
This path is approached by the intellect, not by the body. Actions have beginning and end; the body is the bondage of action. (14-33-7)
तस्मात्ते सुभगे नास्ति परलोककृतं भयम्। मद्भावभावनिरता ममैवात्मानमेष्यसि ॥१४-३३-८॥
Therefore, O fortunate one, you need not fear what is done in another world. Being devoted to the contemplation of my true nature, you will surely attain my very self. (14-33-8)
