जनक उवाच ।
 
क भूतानि क देहो वा केन्द्रियाणि क वा मनः ।
क शून्यं क च नेराश्यं मत्स्वरूपे निरञ्जने ॥१॥
 
जनक: Janaka उवाच said :
 
निरञ्जने Taintless मत्स्वरूपे in myself भूतानि elements
क्व where देहः body के where वा or इन्द्रियाणि organs क
where मन: mind क्व where वा or शून्यं void क्व where
despair where and ?
 
Janaka said:
 
1. Where are the elements, the body,
the organs, the mind, the void, or despair
in my taintless² Being?
 
[The disciple is now describing in this chapter
the state of a free soul which follows, even while in life,
from the repose in Self.
 
1 Elements-the five primary elements underlying
the cosmic evolution are Akâsa (ether), Vâyu (air),
Agni (fire), Ap (water) and Prithivi (earth).
 
2 Taintless etc.-the Absolute which is free from
all determinants.]
