Translation

ദുഃഖിതരായ അജ്ഞാനികൾ പുത്രാദികളുടെ ആശ്രയത്തിൽ ഇഷ്ടംപോലെ സംസാരത്തിൽ അലഞ്ഞുകൊള്ളട്ടെ. ഞാൻ പരമാനന്ദപൂർണ്ണൻ—ഏതു ആഗ്രഹത്താൽ ഞാൻ സംസാരത്തിൽ അലയും?॥१४॥

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)
