Rudra Questions Sanatkumara on the Principles

Verse 1 (13.165.1)

पितामहेन कथिता दानधर्माश्रिताः कथाः । मया श्रुता ऋषीणां तु संनिधौ केशवस्य च ॥

pitāmahena kathitā dānadharmāśritāḥ kathāḥ | mayā śrutā ṛṣīṇāṃ tu saṃnidhau keśavasya ca

The Grandfather has told the stories that rest on the dharma of giving, and I have heard them in the presence of the sages and of Keshava.

The page prints the heading "युधिष्ठिर उवाच" (13-165-1x) before this verse; it is kept as the speaker. The CE heads the passage "yudhiṣṭhiraḥ" (@011_0000).

Verse 2 (13.165.2)

पुनः कौतूहलमभूत्तामेवाध्यात्मिकीं प्रति । कथाः कथय राजेन्द्र त्वदन्यः क उदाहरेत् ॥

punaḥ kautūhalamabhūttāmevādhyātmikīṃ prati | kathāḥ kathaya rājendra tvadanyaḥ ka udāharet

Now my curiosity has risen again, this time about the teaching on the Self. Tell those accounts, O king of kings; who but you could relate them?

Verse 3 (13.165.3)

एष यादवदायादस्तथानुज्ञातुमर्हति । ज्ञाते तु यस्मिञ्ज्ञातव्यं ज्ञातं भवति भारत ॥

eṣa yādavadāyādastathānujñātumarhati | jñāte tu yasmiñjñātavyaṃ jñātaṃ bhavati bhārata

Let this heir of the Yadavas also give his consent; for when that one thing is known, O Bharata, everything that is worth knowing is known.

पश्चाच्छ्रोष्यामहे राज्ञां श्राव्यान्धर्मान्पितामह । कौतूहलमृषीणां तु च्छेतुमर्हसि साम्प्रतम् ॥

paścācchroṣyāmahe rājñāṃ śrāvyāndharmānpitāmaha | kautūhalamṛṣīṇāṃ tu cchetumarhasi sāmpratam

Afterwards, grandfather, we shall hear the duties of kings, those worth hearing; but for the present you ought to satisfy the sages' curiosity.

अत ऊर्ध्वं महाराज साङ्ख्ययोगोभयशास्त्राधिगतयाथात्म्यदर्शनसम्पन्नयोराचार्ययोः संवादमनुव्याख्यास्यामः ॥

ata ūrdhvaṃ mahārāja sāṅkhyayogobhayaśāstrādhigatayāthātmyadarśanasampannayorācāryayoḥ saṃvādamanuvyākhyāsyāmaḥ

From here on, great king, I shall relate the conversation of two teachers, each endowed with a direct vision of the true nature of things, gained from both the Sankhya and the Yoga treatises.

The page prints the heading "भीष्म उवाच" (13-165-5x) here. This and the next three verses are prose, printed in the CE as one line (@011_0010). The page splits the text at a table margin in the middle of a word (साङ्ख्ययोगोभयशास्त्राधि-/गत…); the word is rejoined and the artificial line break and ' ।' removed.

Verse 6 (13.165.6)

तद्यथा भगवन्तं सनत्कुमारमासीनमङ्गुष्ठपर्वमात्रं महति विमानवरे योजनसहस्रमण्डले तरुणभास्करप्रतीकाशे शयनीये महति बद्धासनमनुध्यायन्तममृतमनावर्तकरममूर्तमक्षयजमथोपदिष्टमुपससर्प भगवन्तमाचार्यं भगवानाचार्यो रुद्रः ॥

It was thus: the venerable teacher Rudra, as he had been directed, approached the venerable Sanatkumara. Sanatkumara was seated, no larger than a thumb-joint, on a great couch in a splendid celestial car a thousand yojanas wide, bright as the young sun; he sat fixed in his posture, meditating on the immortal, the formless, that which brings no return, and what is born of the imperishable.

Restored from the critical edition (App. I No. 11, @011_0010): Wikisource's row (13-165-6e, a letter-numbered row) preserves only the tail "ष्टमुपससर्प भगवन्तमाचार्यं भगवानाचार्यो रुद्रः" (beginning mid-word, from उपदिष्ट); the opening of the sentence, "तद्यथा भगवन्तं सनत्कुमारम् … अथोपदिष्ट-", was lost. It is restored with the CE's words.

Verse 7 (13.165.7)

तं प्रोवाच स्वागतं महेश्वर ब्रह्मसुत एतदासनमास्तां भगवान् ॥

taṃ provāca svāgataṃ maheśvara brahmasuta etadāsanamāstāṃ bhagavān

Sanatkumara said to him: "Welcome, Maheshvara, son of Brahma! Here is a seat; let the Blessed One be seated."

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: line 10 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 11, printed after 13,110.137d as 13,110.137d@011_0010); otherwise vulgate-only. The word is rejoined across the table-margin break (एतदास-/नमास्तां). The verse is prose; the text does not name the speaker of the welcome, but the words are addressed to Maheshvara (Rudra) and the reply that follows is Rudra's, so it is Sanatkumara's speech inside Bhishma's narration; the verse stays with the narrator.

Verse 8 (13.165.8)

इत्युक्ते चासीनो भगवाननन्तरूपो रुद्रस्तं प्रोवाच भगवानपि ध्यानमावर्तयति । इत्युक्ते चाह भगवान्सनत्कुमारस्तथेति ॥

ityukte cāsīno bhagavānanantarūpo rudrastaṃ provāca bhagavānapi dhyānamāvartayati | ityukte cāha bhagavānsanatkumārastatheti

When this had been said, the Blessed Rudra, of endless forms, took his seat and said to him, "Revered one, you too keep up your meditation." At this the Blessed Sanatkumara replied, "So be it."

Prose (CE @011_0010, end). The page's three table rows, cut at margins, are run together into one sentence-line; the '।' printed by the page inside the text is kept.

Verse 9 (13.165.9)

तथेत्युक्तश्च प्रोवाच भगवाञ्शङ्करस्तदा । परावरज्ञं सर्वस्य त्रैलोक्यस्य महामुनिम् ॥

tathetyuktaśca provāca bhagavāñśaṅkarastadā | parāvarajñaṃ sarvasya trailokyasya mahāmunim

Having been answered "So be it," the Blessed Shankara then spoke to the great sage, who knows the higher and the lower of all three worlds:

Verse 10 (13.165.10)

किं वा ध्यानेन द्रष्टव्यं यद्भवाननुपश्यति । यच्च ध्यात्वा न शोचन्ति यतयस्तत्वदर्शिनः ॥

kiṃ vā dhyānena draṣṭavyaṃ yadbhavānanupaśyati | yacca dhyātvā na śocanti yatayastatvadarśinaḥ

What is it that should be seen through meditation, which you behold? And what do the ascetics who see the truth contemplate, so that they grieve no more?

The page keeps the carried-over heading "भीष्म उवाच" up to verse 25, but verses 10-25 are Rudra's questions to Sanatkumara (introduced by verse 9); they are given to Rudra. The CE has no heading for Rudra here (the label "bhīṣmaḥ" at @011_0009 runs on to @011_0046).

Verse 11 (13.165.11)

कथय त्वमिमं देवं देहिनां यतिसत्तम । यच्च तत्पुरुषं शुद्धमित्युक्तं योगसाङ्ख्ययोः ॥

kathaya tvamimaṃ devaṃ dehināṃ yatisattama | yacca tatpuruṣaṃ śuddhamityuktaṃ yogasāṅkhyayoḥ

Tell me, best of ascetics, about this God who dwells in embodied beings, and about the pure Person of whom Yoga and Sankhya speak.

किमध्यात्माधिभूतं च तथा चाप्यधिदैवतम् । कालसङ्ख्या च का देव द्रष्टव्या तस्य ब्रह्मणः ॥

kimadhyātmādhibhūtaṃ ca tathā cāpyadhidaivatam | kālasaṅkhyā ca kā deva draṣṭavyā tasya brahmaṇaḥ

What is the self-related, what the elemental, and what the divine? And what reckoning of time, O God, is to be recognised for that Brahma?

saṅkhyā saṅkhyādanasyaiva yā proktā paramarṣibhiḥ | śāstradṛṣṭena mārgeṇa yathāvadyatisattama

Tell me too the reckoning, the very counting that the supreme sages have declared, rightly, along the path that the scriptures show, O best of ascetics.

Verse 14 (13.165.14)

यच्च तत्पुरुषं शुद्धं प्रबुद्धमजरं ध्रुवम् । बुध्यमानाप्रबुद्धाभ्यां विद्यावेद्यं तथैव च ॥

yacca tatpuruṣaṃ śuddhaṃ prabuddhamajaraṃ dhruvam | budhyamānāprabuddhābhyāṃ vidyāvedyaṃ tathaiva ca

And that pure Person, awakened, ageless, unchanging, to be known in relation to the one who awakens and the one who is not awakened, and equally to be known through knowledge.

vimokṣaṃ trividhaṃ caiva brūhi mokṣavidāṃvara | parisāṅkhyaṃ ca sāṅkhyānāṃ dhyānaṃ yogeṣu cārthavat

Tell me, best of those who know liberation, of the threefold liberation, of the full enumeration of the Sankhyas, and of the meaning of meditation in the Yogas.

Tell me also of the vision of oneness and the vision of manifoldness, of the omens of death as they truly are, and likewise of the departures of the soul.

punaḥ punaśca patanaṃ mūrtimatyupadiśyate | na punarmṛtyumityanyaṃ nirmuktānāṃ tu mūrtitaḥ

A fall again and again is taught for whatever has form; but for those who are free of form there is no death again; so the other state is described.
