Adhyāya 222 — ब्रह्मस्थानप्राप्ति: मोक्षधर्मे समत्वव्रतम्
Attaining the Brahman-Station: The Vow of Equanimity in Mokṣadharma
ममता, अहंकार तथा कामनाओंसे शून्य और सब प्रकारके बन्धनोंसे रहित हो आत्मनिष्ठ एवं असंग रहकर मैं प्राणियोंकी उत्पत्ति और विनाशको सदा देखता रहता हूँ ।।
kṛtaprajñasya dāntasya vitṛṣṇasya nirāśiṣaḥ | nāyāso vidyate śakra paśyato lokam avyayam ||
普罗诃罗陀说道:“我离‘我所’、离我慢、离诸欲,解脱一切系缚;安住于自性(真我),不染不著,恒观众生之生与灭。噢,释迦罗(因陀罗)啊,对于慧解坚住、调伏其心与诸根、无渴爱亦无求报、能于变易世间之下见不坏实相者,内里无劳苦,亦无苦恼。”
प्रह्माद उवाच
Freedom from suffering comes from steady wisdom and inner mastery: when ego and possessiveness are abandoned, cravings and expectations cease, and one’s vision rests on the imperishable Self, the changing events of the world no longer create mental strain.
Prahlāda addresses Indra (Śakra) and describes the state of a realized, self-controlled person. He explains that such a seer, established in the Self and detached, calmly witnesses the rise and fall of beings and therefore remains untroubled.
