विक्षेपो नास्ति यस्मान्मे न समाधिस्ततो मम । विक्षेपो वा समाधिर्वा मनसः स्याद्विकारिणः । नित्यानुभवरूपस्य को मेऽत्रानुभवः पृथक् ॥२३॥
विक्षेपः । न । अस्ति । यस्मात् । मे । न । समाधिः । ततः । मम । विक्षेपः । वा । समाधिः । वा । मनसः । स्यात् । विकारिणः । नित्य-अनुभव-रूपस्य । कः । मे । अत्र । अनुभवः । पृथक् ॥२३॥
vikṣepo nāsti yasmān me na samādhis tato mama | vikṣepo vā samādhir vā manasaḥ syād vikāriṇaḥ | nityānubhavarūpasya ko me 'trānubhavaḥ pṛthak ||23||
เพราะสำหรับเราไม่มีวิกเษปะ (ความฟุ้งซ่าน) ฉะนั้นสำหรับเราจึงไม่มีสมาธิด้วย วิกเษปะหรือสมาธิย่อมเป็นของจิตที่แปรเปลี่ยนได้ สำหรับเราผู้มีสภาวะเป็นประสบการณ์อันนิรันดร์ จะมี ‘ประสบการณ์’ อันแยกต่างหากอะไรได้เล่าในที่นี้
Since there is no distraction for me, therefore there is no samādhi for me. Distraction or samādhi would belong to the mind, which is subject to modification. For me, whose nature is eternal experience, what separate ‘experience’ could there be here?
- yasmānme = yasmāt me
- samādhistato = samādhiḥ tataḥ
- samādhirvā = samādhiḥ vā
- me’trānubhavaḥ = me atra anubhavaḥ
