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

ਇੱਥੇ ਕੇਵਲ ‘38’ ਸ਼ਲੋਕ-ਸੰਖਿਆ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ; ਮੂਲ ਸ਼ਲੋਕ ਉਪਲਬਧ ਨਹੀਂ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਅਰਥਾਨੁਵਾਦ ਸੰਭਵ ਨਹੀਂ।

Speaker

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