Bhīṣma’s Śara-śayyā Stuti to Vāsudeva and Yogic Preparation for Dehotsarga

Body-Relinquishment

Devanagari script

अणीयसामणीयांसं स्थविष्ठं च स्थवीयसाम्‌ | गरीयसां गरिष्ठं च श्रेष्ठ च श्रेयसामपि

Transliteration

aṇīyasām aṇīyāṁsaṁ sthaviṣṭhaṁ ca sthavīyasām | garīyasāṁ gariṣṭhaṁ ca śreṣṭhaṁ ca śreyasām api ||

Translation

قال بهيشما: «هو ألطفُ من ألطفِ اللطيف، وهو أيضًا أعظمُ من أعظمِ العظيم؛ أثقلُ من الثقيل، وهو كذلك الأسمى في كل ما هو أسمى.» وفي هذا التعليم عن الدارما والتحرّر، يُوصَف السامي بأنه متجاوزٌ لكل مقاييس المقارنة—فوق مقولات الحجم والوزن والمرتبة—ليتعلّم السالك توقير المطلق: حاضرًا في أدقّ الأشياء، وسيدًا على أوسعها.
