Adhyaya 25 — Madālāsā’s Return, Royal Succession, and the First Teaching to Vikrānta
शुद्धोऽसि रे तात न तेऽस्ति नाम
कृतं हि ते कल्पनयाधुनैव ।
पञ्चात्मकं देहमिदं तवैत्तन्
नैवास्य त्वं रोदिषि कस्य हेतोः ॥
śuddho 'si re tāta! na te 'sti nāma kṛtaṃ hi te kalpanayādhunaiva | pañcātmakaṃ deham idaṃ tavaitan naivāsya tvaṃ rodiṣi kasya hetoḥ ||
പ്രിയ ശിശുവേ, നീ ശുദ്ധനാണ്; നിനക്ക് (യഥാർത്ഥ) നാമമില്ല—ഈ നാമം ഇപ്പോൾ കല്പനകൊണ്ട് നിർമ്മിച്ചതാണ്. ഈ ശരീരം പഞ്ചഭൂതനിർമ്മിതം; നീ ശരീരമല്ല. പിന്നെ എന്തിന് നീ കരയുന്നു?
