Brahma Purana — Bondage Through the Guṇas: Transmigration, Misidentification, and Ascetic Practices, Shloka 38

Devanagari script

भविष्यति न मे दुःखं कृतेनेहाप्य् अनन्तकम् सुखदुःखं हि मानुष्यं निरये चापि मज्जनम् //

Translation

ಇಲ್ಲಿ ‘38’ ಎಂಬ ಶ್ಲೋಕ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ; ಮೂಲ ಶ್ಲೋಕ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಕಾರಣ ಅರ್ಥಾನುವಾದ ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ।

Speaker

• A narrator/teacher addressing a king; the verse rebuts the deluded assumption of guaranteed happiness
