12.202.1
यथा व्यक्तमिदं शेते स्वप्ने चरति चेतनम् ।
ज्ञानमिन्द्रियसंयुक्तं तद्वत्प्रेत्य भवाभवौ ॥ १२.२०२.१ ॥
As this (body) lies plainly asleep, and consciousness roams in dream, so knowledge united with the senses, after death, remains in both existence and non-existence.
12.202.2
यथाऽम्भसि प्रसन्ने तु रूपं पश्यति चक्षुषा ।
तद्वत्प्रसन्नेन्द्रियवाञ्ज्ञेयं ज्ञानेन पश्यति ॥ १२.२०२.२ ॥
As in clear water one sees a form with the eye, so one whose senses are serene sees the knowable by knowledge.
12.202.3
स एव लुलिते तस्मिन्यथा रूपं न पश्यति ।
तथेन्द्रियाकुलीभावे ज्ञेयं ज्ञाने न पश्यति ॥ १२.२०२.३ ॥
When that same water is stirred, one does not see a form in it; so when the senses are disturbed, one does not see the knowable in knowledge.
12.202.4
अबुद्धिरज्ञानकृता अबुद्ध्या दूष्यते मनः ।
दुष्टस्य मनसः पञ्च संप्रदुष्यन्ति मानसाः ॥ १२.२०२.४ ॥
Lack of discernment, born of ignorance, defiles the mind; when the mind is defiled, its five mental faculties are wholly defiled.
12.202.5
अज्ञानतृप्तो विषयेष्ववगाढो न पश्यति ।
स दृष्ट्वैव तु पूतात्मा विषयेभ्यो निवर्तते ॥ १२.२०२.५ ॥
One satisfied with ignorance and immersed in sense-objects does not see; but the pure-souled one, having seen it, turns back from sense-objects.
12.202.6
तर्षच्छेदो न भवति पुरुषस्येह कल्मषात् ।
निवर्तते तदा तर्षः पापमन्तर्गतं यदा ॥ १२.२०२.६ ॥
Here in this world the cutting off of a person's craving does not come about while sin remains; craving ceases only when the sin within has ceased.
12.202.7
अन्तर्गतेन पापेन दह्यमानेन चेतसा ।
शुभाशुभविकारेण न स भूयोऽभिजायते ॥ १२.२०२.७ ॥
With a mind burning from hidden sin, disturbed by the agitations of good and evil, he is not born again.
12.202.8
विषयेषु तु संसर्गाच्छाश्वतस्य तु संश्रयात् ।
मनसा चान्यथा काड्क्षन्परं न प्रतिपद्यते ॥ १२.२०२.८ ॥
Through contact with sense-objects, and not taking refuge in the eternal, desiring otherwise in his mind, he does not attain the supreme.
12.202.9
ज्ञानमुत्पद्यते पुंसां क्षयात्पापस्य कर्मणः ।
अथादर्शतलप्रख्ये पश्यत्यात्मानमात्मनि ॥ १२.२०२.९ ॥
Knowledge arises in men when sinful action is destroyed; then, like the surface of a mirror, one sees the self within the self.
12.202.10
प्रसृतैरिन्द्रियैर्दुःखी तैरेव नियतैः सुखी ।
तस्मादिन्द्रियचोरेभ्यो यच्छेदात्मानमात्मना ॥ १२.२०२.१० ॥
Unhappy through the scattered senses, happy through those very senses when restrained; therefore one should restrain oneself by oneself from the thieves that are the senses.
12.202.11
इन्द्रियेभ्यो मनः पूर्वं बुद्धिः परतरा ततः ।
बुद्धेः परतरं ज्ञानं ज्ञानात्परतरं परम् ॥ १२.२०२.११ ॥
Beyond the senses is the mind; beyond the mind is the intellect; beyond the intellect is knowledge; beyond knowledge is the supreme.
12.202.12
अव्यक्तात्प्रसृतं ज्ञानं ततो बुद्धिस्ततो मनः ।
मनः श्रोत्रादिभिर्युक्तं शब्दादीन्साधु पश्यति ॥ १२.२०२.१२ ॥
From the unmanifest, knowledge emerges; then the intellect, then the mind. The mind, joined with hearing and the other senses, rightly perceives sounds and the rest.
12.202.13
यस्तांस्त्यजति शब्दादीन्सर्वाश्च व्यक्तयस्तथा ।
प्रसृतानीन्द्रियाण्येव प्रतिसंहरति कूर्मवत्।
विमुञ्चत्याकृतिग्रामांस्तान्मुक्त्वाऽमृतमश्नुते ॥ १२.२०२.१३ ॥
He who gives up sound and the other objects and all their manifest forms, and draws back the spread-out senses like a tortoise, releases that host of forms and attains immortality.
12.202.14
उद्यन्हि सविता यद्वत्सृजते रश्मिमण्डलम् ।
दृश्यते मण्डलं तस्य न च दृश्येत मण्डली।
तद्वद्देहस्तु संदृश्य आत्माऽदृश्यः परः सदा ॥ १२.२०२.१४ ॥
Just as the rising sun sends out its disc of rays, and the disc is seen but its possessor is not seen, so the body is visible, while the supreme Self is always invisible.
12.202.15
ग्रस्तं ह्युद्गिरते नित्यमुद्गीथं वेत्ति नित्यशः ।
बाल्ये रथाभ्यां योगेन तत्वज्ञानं तु संमतम् ॥ १२.२०२.१५ ॥
He who always gives back what has been swallowed, and always knows the udgītha; in childhood, by yoga, like the two wheels of a chariot, knowledge of reality is indeed held to be right.
12.202.16
स एवास्तमुपागच्छंस्तदेवात्मनि यच्छति ।
आदत्ते सर्वभूतानां रसभूतं विकासवान् ॥ १२.२०२.१६ ॥
Going to setting, he draws that very thing into his self, and takes the essence of all beings, which is endowed with expansion.
12.202.17
अन्तरात्मा तथा देहमाविश्येन्द्रियरश्मिभिः ।
प्राप्येन्द्रि गुणान्पञ्च सोऽस्तमावृत्त्य गच्छति।
रश्मिमण्ड हीनस्तु न चासौ नास्ति तावता ॥ १२.२०२.१७ ॥
The inner self likewise enters the body by the rays of the senses, obtains the five qualities of the senses, and, setting, goes away enveloped. Deprived of its disc of rays, it is not, to that extent, and is not at all.
12.202.18
प्रणीतं कर्मणा मार्गं नीयमानः पुनः पुनः ।
प्राप्नोत्ययं कर्मफलं प्रवृत्तं धर्ममाप्तवान् ॥ १२.२०२.१८ ॥
Led again and again along the path fixed by action, this being obtains the fruit of action; one engaged in dharma attains dharma.
12.202.19
विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः ।
रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते ॥ १२.२०२.१९ ॥
Sense-objects turn away from the embodied one who abstains from food; even taste turns away from him, having seen the supreme.
12.202.20
बुद्धिः कर्मगुणैर्हीना यदा मनसि वर्तते ।
तदा संपद्यते ब्रह्म तत्रैव प्रलयं गतम् ॥ १२.२०२.२० ॥
When the intellect, free of the qualities of action, abides in the mind, then it attains brahman and is dissolved right there.
12.202.21
अस्पर्शनमशृण्वानमनास्वादमदर्शनम् ।
अघ्राणमवितर्कं च सत्वं प्रविशते परम् ॥ १२.२०२.२१ ॥
Not touching, not hearing, not tasting, not seeing, not smelling, free of conjecture, the sattva enters the supreme.
12.202.22
अव्यक्तात्प्रसृतं ज्ञानं ततो बुद्धिस्ततो मनः ।
आत्मनः प्रसृता बुद्धिरव्यक्तं ज्ञानमुच्यते ॥ १२.२०२.२२ ॥
From the unmanifest knowledge emanated, from it the intellect, and then the mind; the intellect emanated from the self, and the unmanifest is called knowledge.
12.202.23
तस्माद्बुद्धिः स्मृता तज्ज्ञैर्मनस्तस्मात्ततः स्मृतम् ।
तस्मादाकृतयः पञ्च मनः परममुच्यते ॥ १२.२०२.२३ ॥
Therefore those who know it call it intellect, from it the mind is remembered; from it come the five forms, and the mind is said to be supreme.
12.202.24
तस्मात्परतरा बुद्धिर्ज्ञानं तस्मात्परं स्मृतम् ।
ततः सूक्ष्मस्ततो ह्यात्मा तस्मात्परतरं न च।
इन्द्रियाणि निरीक्षन्ते मनसैतानि सर्वशः ॥ १२.२०२.२४ ॥
Beyond that, intellect is higher; beyond that, knowledge is held to be supreme. Beyond that is the subtle, and beyond that indeed the self; nothing is higher than that. The senses observe these entirely through the mind.
12.202.25
मनस्याकृतयो मग्ना मनस्त्वभिगतं मतिम् ।
मतिस्त्वभिगता ज्ञानं ज्ञानं चाभिगतं महत् ॥ १२.२०२.२५ ॥
Forms are absorbed into the mind; the mind attains to intellect. The intellect attains to knowledge, and knowledge attains to the great.
12.202.26
नेन्द्रियैर्मनसः सिद्धिर्न बुद्धिं बुध्यते मनः ।
न बुद्धिर्बुध्यतेऽव्यक्तं सूक्ष्मं त्वेतानि पश्यति ॥ १२.२०२.२६ ॥
Through the senses there is no attainment of the mind, and the mind does not perceive the intellect. The intellect does not perceive the unmanifest; but these see the subtle.
