duḥkhino'jñāḥ saṃsarantu kāmaṃ putrādyapekṣayā | paramānandapūrṇo'ham saṃsarāmi kim icchayā ||14||

Translation

Que los ignorantes afligidos vaguen en el saṃsāra como quieran, apoyados en hijos y semejantes. Yo estoy colmado de dicha suprema: ¿por qué deseo habría de vagar en el saṃsāra?

Academic Translation

Let the suffering ignorant ones wander in saṃsāra as they please, dependent on sons and the like. I am full of supreme bliss—by what desire should I wander in saṃsāra?

Verse Context

• Pūrṇatva (fullness) of Ātman; vairāgya; saṃsāra as desire-driven
• Mahavakya: Echoes ‘अयमात्मा ब्रह्म’ / ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि’: the Self as bliss-full (ānanda-svarūpa) leaves no motive for saṃsāric pursuit.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
