CHAPTER 15
निर्मानमोहा जितसग्ङदोषा अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामा: । Translation:-(5) Who are free from vanity and ignorance, who have conquered the fault of being attached; who are steadily engrossed in Metaphysical Knowledge ; who are desireless, and liberated from the pairs of Opposites like pain and happiness etc., such Scients go and reach this inexhaustible Seat. (6) That is my super-excellent Seat, having gone where, there is no return. It is not illuminated, whether by the Sun, or by the Moon, or by Fire. Description:-[Out of these, the sixth stanza has appeared in the Svetasvatara[1], the Mundaka[2], and the Katha[3] Upanisads. The Sun, the Moon, and the stars all fall into the class of Name-d and Form-ed things ; and, as the Parabrahman is beyond Name and Form, it is quite clear that the Sun, the Moon etc., all derive their light from the Parabrahman, and that nothing else is needed for illuminating the Parabrahman. The word "paramasthana" (super-excellent Seat) in the above stanza means the Parabrahman ; and being merged in this Brahman is the state of Release known as the ' Brahma-nirvana '. The exposition of the Metaphysical Knowledge of the Parabrahman, taking the simile of a tree, is now over. It now remains to describe the form of the Purusottama (purusottama-svarupa) ; but the Blessed Lord first explains the evolution of the Jiva, and the appurtenant description of the form of the Jiva, which is suggested by His last words, "having gone where, there is no return". ] Translation:-(7) My primordial amsa[4] takes the form of Jiva in the Jiva- world (in the land of Karma), and draws (to itself), the 'six' including the Mind, (that is to say, the Mind and the five (subtle) senses; this is known as the ('linga-sarira'.)
