Dashak 15 · Samāsa 6

From yellow, black arose; on earth it spread. / Without it, to understand — does not happen.

Though slight the mark, gathering of all; / lowest and highest guṇas — are all there.

Earth-son stretched; stretching, made two-fold; / both mixed proceed — in work.

Black-and-white tied in knot; black mixed in the middle; / this-world, fruition — is happening.

On examining this consideration — the fool himself becomes clever. / Direct pratīti-sākṣātkāra — of the other-world.

What is acceptable to all — becomes ordinary. / Ordinary cannot become — ananya.

Uttama, madhyama, kaniṣṭha line; hidden line of adṛṣṭa (destiny); / the four anubhavas — alike do not happen.

Accounts of fourteen generations — those who tell, are they wise or fool? / For the hearer, does it happen or not — should be seen so.

Every line erases; directly comes to pratyaya. / To close the eyes — for what purpose?

He who engaged with many's words — that creature drowned in inference. / The chief certainty missed — of pratyaya.

Hear abundant of abundant; but see by pratyaya; / separate true-and-false — within.

Do not say no to anyone; understand harms and remedies; / what pratyaya should be taken — by speaking much?

A person obstinate and raw — accept his [view]; / thus of many — preserve the interior.

Within knots, twists, whirls — those who grow abundantly; / then how wise — does he not know to cool?

Make the fool wise — only then life is praiseworthy. / Uselessly growing dispute — is foolishness.

Mingle and join, gather; bending-and-overturning; / do not let be known at all — by vivek-strength.

Walk as others walk; speak by others' speech; / go by others' inner-aim — uniting.

He who is for others' hita — never makes mischief. / With agreement, examines — the interior of that [other].

First take the interior in hand; then slowly unravel; / by various means take — to the other-world.

An obstinate-one met an obstinate — there commotion arose. / On quarreling arising, cāturya — has no place.

They uselessly chatter; but doing it out — is hard. / Accomplishing a foreign place — is heavy; is hard.

Bear blows, buffets; bear low words; / those rebuked — others become one's own.

Know the occasion, speak; do not give knower-hood at all; / hold humility — wherever.

Villages or cities — visit house-to-house; / on pretext of alms — examine small-and-great.

In many things, something is found; friendship forms with insightful folk; / sitting idle, nothing happens — by wandering-examining.

With alertness know all; get news in advance; / where permissible go there — with vivek.

Various recitations — cool all hearts; / on writing-giving for benevolence — cross all limits.

As each needs — give accordingly. / Then become the excellent — accepted by all.

Accepted by all on earth — do not call ordinary; / several people become ananya — to that puruṣa.

Such are the marks of cāturya — by cāturya make dig-vijaya. / Then what lacks — for him — wherever.
