।। १ ।। सुन्दर्या निजया बुध्या प्रज्ञयैव वयस्यया ।
पदमासाद्यते राम न नाम क्रिययान्यया ।।
O Rama, one truly reaches the eternal abode (of Paramātman), assisted by his own handsome intellect and befriended by sound discrimination (vichāra and viveka); and not by any other (religious or secular) activity, nor by chanting of Names.
।। २ ।।
य एव यत्न: क्रियते बाह्यार्थोपार्जने जनै: ।
स एव यत्न: कर्तव्य: पूर्वं प्रज्ञाविवृद्धये ।।
With what dilligence people acquire the (fleeting) objects of the world, with the same dilligence should they increase their sense of discrimination (viveka) - for, from the latter alone will result a great and everlasting gain.
।। ३ ।।
अयमेवाहमित्यस्मिन् संकोचे विलयं गते ।
समस्तभुवनव्यापी विस्तार उपजायते ।।
When the contracted notion 'I am this alone' (referring to the body) melts away, dissolves, then indeed the 'universal expansiveness' (the mighty soul awareness) arises, surges up, within.
।। ४ ।।
मा खेद भज हेयेषु नोपादेयपरो भव ।
हेयोदेयदृशाै त्यकतवा शेषस्थ: सुस्थिरो भव ।।
Do not lament upon or grieve on account of the heyas (the unacceptables); do not also be overinfluenced by the upadeyas (the acceptables). (Instead) renounce both the heya-aadeya views (that is to say, the sense of differentiation, namely, the acceptable and unacceptable), and resting in what remains, be resolute.
।। ५ ।।
आत्मीये परकीये वा सर्वस्मिन्नेव सर्वदा ।
नष्टे चोपचिते कार्ये सुखदु:खे गृहणा मा ।।
In regard to all affairs at all times, whether they are your own or another's, whenever either success or failure takes place, be neither delighted nor depressed. (Instead, remain stable-minded).
।। ६ ।।
सर्वातीतपदालम्बी पूर्णेन्दुशिशिराशय: ।
नोद्वेगी न च तुष्टात्मा संसारे नावसीदति ।।
Focussing your attention always on the supra-worldly abode (sarvātīta-pada), possessing a mind as auspicious and graceful as the full moon, neither revolting nor rejoicing (being free from depression as well as delight) - he who lives thus is not tormented by samsāra (worldly life).
।। ७ ।।
सम: शत्राै च मित्रे च दयादाक्षिएयसंयुत: ।
प्राप्तकर्मकरो नित्यं संसारे नावसीदति ।।
Expressing concern and sympathy to the friend and foe alike, functioning always with conviction that whatever one does is really guided by God; he who lives thus is never inflicted by samsāra.
।। ८ ।।
नाभिनन्दति न द्वेष्टि न शोचति न कांक्षति
ईहितानीहितैर्मुक्त: संसारे नावसीदति ।।
He who neither appreciates nor depreciates, neither grieves nor desires, and is also free from iṣṭa-aniṣṭa's (desirables and undesirables), gets never pained or afflicted by samsāra.
।। ९ ।।
सर्वस्याभिमतं वक्ता चोदित: पेशलोक्तिमान् ।
आशयज्ञश्च भूतानां संसारे नावसीदति ।।
Worldly life (samsāra) does not inflict him, who is soft-spoken by nature, and when asked by others speaks out what is the best ideal for each, and also reconciles himself mentally with the tendencies of all beings.
