Adhyāya 57: Tapas–Dāna Phala

On the Fruits of Austerity and Giving

Devanagari script

भृगुनन्दन! यही मेरे राज्यका और यही मेरी तपस्याका भी फल है। विप्रवर! यदि आपका मुझपर प्रेम हो तो मेरे मनमें एक संदेह है, उसका समाधान करनेकी कृपा करें ।।

Transliteration

Bhṛgunandana! idaṃ mama rājyasya ca idaṃ mama tapasyāyāś ca phalam. Vipravara! yadi tava mayi prema syāt, mama manasi ekaḥ saṃdehaḥ; tasya samādhānaṃ kartum arhasi.

Translation

O inapo ni Bhṛgu, ito ang bunga ng aking paghahari, at ito rin ang bunga ng aking pag-aayuno at pagninilay (tapasya). O pinakadakila sa mga Brahmin, kung may paglingap ka sa akin, may isang pag-aalinlangan sa aking puso—mangyaring pagpalain mo ako at lutasin iyon.
