Chapter 5 ॥ ऩञ्चभोध्याम्॥

अष्टावक्र उवाच ॥
न त े सगं ोऽतस्त केनातऩ तकं शिु स्त्यिुतभच्छतस ।
सघं ाततवरम ं कुवन्नभ वे भवे रम ं व्रज ॥ ५-१॥
aṣṭāvakra uvāca
na te saṁgo'sti kenāpi kiṁ śuddhastyaktumicchasi
saṁghātavilayaṁ kurvannevameva layaṁ vraja
Ashtavakra: You are not bound by anything. What does a pure
person like you need to renounce? Putting the complex organism
to rest, you can go to your rest.
उदते त बवतो तवश्व ं वातयधतेयव फद्बु दु ् ।
इतत ऻात्वकै भात्मान ं एवभवे रम ं व्रज ॥ ५-२॥
udeti bhavato viśvaṁ vāridheriva budbudaḥ
iti jñātvaikamātmānaṁ evameva layaṁ vraja

All this arises out of you, like a bubble out of the sea. Knowing
yourself like this to be but one, you can go to your rest.
प्रत्यऺभप्यवस्तत्वु ाद ्तवश्व ं नास्त्यभरे त्वतम ।
यज्जसु ऩ भइव व्यिं एवभवे रम ं व्रज ॥ ५-३॥
pratyakṣamapyavastutvād viśvaṁ nāstyamale tvayi
rajjusarpa iva vyaktaṁ evameva layaṁ vraja
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 go to your rest.
सभदु्खसखु ् ऩणू भआशानयै ाश्ममो् सभ् ।
सभजीतवतभत्यृ ्ु सन्नवे भवे रम ं व्रज ॥ ५-४॥
samaduḥkhasukhaḥ pūrṇa āśānairāśyayoḥ samaḥ
samajīvitamṛtyuḥ sannevameva layaṁ vraja
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 go to your rest.
