[¹For others etc.-To be caten perchance by dogs and vultures after
death.]
VIVEKACŪDĀMANI
शरीरपोषणार्थी सन् य आत्मानं दिदृक्षति ।
ग्राहं दारुधिया धृत्वा नदीं ततुं स गच्छति ॥ ८४ ॥
84. Whoever seeks to realise the Self by devoting him-
self to the nourishment of the body, proceeds to cross a
river by catching hold of a crocodile, mistaking it for a log.
मोह एव महामृत्युर्मुमुक्षोपुरादिषु ।
मोहो, विनिर्जितो येन स मुक्तिपदमर्हति ॥ ८५ ॥
85. So for a secker after liberation the infatuation'
over things like the body is a dire death. He who has
thoroughly conquered this deserves the state of freedom.
[Infatuation-That he is the body etc., or that the body etc. are
his.]
मोहं जहि महामृत्युं देहदारसुतादिषु ।
यं जित्वा मुनयो यान्ति तद्विष्णोः परमं पदम् ॥ ८६ ॥
86. Conquer the dire death of infatuation over thy
body, wife, children, etc. -conquering which the sages
reach that Supreme Statel of Visnu.
[1Supreme State etc. - From Bg Veda, I. xxii. 20-21.]
त्वङ्मांसरुधिरस्नायुमेदोमज्जास्थिसंकुलम् ।
पूर्ण मूत्रपुरीषाभ्यां स्थूलं निन्द्यमिदं वपुः ॥ ८७ ॥
