Dashak 15 · Samāsa 2

On earth, human bodies — packed small and great; / they change by mental vikāras — moment to moment.

As many mūrtis, so many prakṛtis; not alike from beginning-to-end; / no rule, see how many — for what purpose?

Several went off becoming mleccha; several were erased in Firangastāna (Portuguese); / were held back by country-language — many.

Mahārāṣṭra-deśa is a little left; people held by political-affairs. / No time to eat — abundant work.

Several are caught in war-occasions; by that, became intoxicated. / Night-and-day they began discussing — war.

The trader's absorption is in business; time has become non-existent. / All belly-business stuck — continuously.

Six darśanas, various doctrines; heresies grew abundant; / on earth, wherever — they preach.

Smārtha and Vaiṣṇava — all the remainder was taken. / Thus considered, the tangle — has grown abundant.

Several kāmanā-bhaktas (desire-devotees) — attached here-and-there; / fit or unfit — who looks?

In this commotion, commotion — grew and grew. / Vedic people — became unable to see [their way].

Within this, hari-kīrtana — there several people flow; / brahma-jñāna of pratyaya — who sees?

For this reason, jñāna is rare; by puṇya an unobtainable gain is had; / for the vicāravants, easy — everything.

Considered, it cannot be told; many obstructions come; / plans fail — harms come in the way.

Within this, the sharp one — does not let a moment pass idle; / cunning, tārkika, insightful — accepted by all.

Various kinds of recitations — began uttering rapidly; / made the bypass into a path — by power-strength.

The doors of prabodha-śakti are endless; knows all interiors; / by nirūpaṇa thereafter — attachment forms.

Doctrines-and-counter-doctrines all together; speaking by pratyaya makes them level; / abandoning rule, directly — he draws people.

Rigorous, piercing words; always watching occasion-context; / with hint of detached-vṛtti — he gets up and goes.

Speaking by pratyaya, he rose and left; attachment has come to people; / abandoning various paths to him — they come for refuge.

But he is nowhere found; not located in any place; / appearance — of low, humble — seems like.

He does much in hidden-form; beggar-like in appearance; / there fame-kīrti-pratāpa — has exceeded limits.

At various places he establishes bhajana; he himself misses from there; / the entanglement of jealous-doctrines — he does not let stick.

He goes and lives in a hidden corner; no one sees him there; / carries the worry of all — at all times.

Difficult places, hard people — there to stay rigorously; / in the sṛṣṭi, all people — come searching.

There no one's [power] works; not even a tiny thing is inferred; / he sets up strict rāja-kāraṇa — engages people.

Among people, people were grown; by that they became unbounded; / on earth, power operates — in hidden-form.

In various places, abundant masteries; every person thus grasps; / on all sides abundantly spreads — the paramārtha-buddhi.

The reverberation of upāsanā — place-after-place, great-great; / by pratyaya, every creature — was released.

Such tricks he knows abundantly; by that people become wise; / wherever pratyaya is impressed — in every creature.

Making such fame, one should leave; only then should one come to samsāra. / Das says — such by svabhāva — has been spoken as hint.
