21-25  
जनक उवाचः
में हूँ तथापि जन समूहे, द्वैत भाव न चित अहो,
एकत्व और अरण्य वत, किसे दूसरा अपना कहो.----२१
 
न मैं देह न ही देह मेरी, जीव भी में हूँ नहीं,
मात्र हूँ चैतन्य, मेरी जिजीविषा बन्धन मही.-----२२

मैं महोदधि, चित्त रूपी पवन भी मुझमें अहे,
विविध जग रूपी तरंगें, भिन्न न मुझमें रहे .----२३

मैं महोदधि चित्त रूपी, पवन से मुझमें मही,
विविध जगरूपी तरंगें, भाव बन कर बह रहीं .----२४

मैं महोदधि, जीव रूपी, बहु तरंगित हो रहीं,
ज्ञान से मैं हूँ यथावत, न विसंगति हो रही.-----25
 
[काव्यानुवादः डॉ. मृदुल कीर्ति]

 

I do not even see dualism in a crowd of people, so what do I gain if it is
replaced by a desert? 2.21

I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am not a living being. I am consciousness.
It was my thirst for living that was my bondage. 2.22

Truly it is in the infinite ocean of myself, that, stimulated by the colourful waves
of the world, everything suddenly arises in the wind of consciousness. 2.23

In the infinite ocean of myself, the wind of thought subsides, and the world boat of
the living-being traders is wrecked by lack of goods. 2.24

How wonderful it is that in the infinite ocean of myself the waves of living beings
arise, collide, play, and disappear, in accordance with their nature. 2.25
