Dashak 19 · Samāsa 10

Where unbrokenly various siftings; where unbrokenly various dhāraṇās; / where unbrokenly rāja-kāraṇa — brought to mind.

On earth, excellent virtues — as much, nirūpaṇa proceeds; / without nirūpaṇa, a moment — is not empty.

Discussions, doubts, counter-replies; who is false, who true; / various eloquences with śāstra-support — various discussions.

Bhakti-path becomes clear; upāsanā-path is grasped; / jñāna-consideration clears — within.

Much love of vairāgya; sweetness of detached-vṛtti; / abundant upādhi, yet releases — does not let attach.

Recitations of prabandhas; rhythmic answers; / rigorously speaking, interiors — cools of all.

Love attaches to many people; there no one's [power] proceeds; / obstruction fell to inference — how will it come?

Having done upāsanā ahead — fulfilment must be done on all sides; / on earth-globe wherever — they know him.

They know but he is not found; what he does is not known; / various country-people various — come and go.

All of their interiors should be held; filled with vivek-consideration; / the up-and-down examined — by antaḥkaraṇa.

How many people — is not known; how great the community — not grasped; / all people into śravaṇa-manana — he places.

Make the forum work-done; tell gadya-padya; / preserve others' interiors — at all times.

Such is whose rule — unbroken seeing of vivek; / before the alert, aviveka — whence will come?

Whatever one knows — that should slowly be taught; / make them wise and release — abundant people.

Teach in various ways; tell the entanglements; / clear-and-release — the niḥspṛhas.

What can be done, oneself should do; what cannot, by people have it done; / 'Bhagavad-bhajana should remain' — this is not dharma [to neglect].

Do and cause to be done; examine and cause to examine; / hold and cause to hold — on the bhajana-path.

If tired of old people, then a new region — should be held; / whatever can be done, for that — do not be lazy.

When the body's practice drowns — then the mahant drowns; / with urgency, the new people — should be made wise.

Do not be caught in upādhi; do not be tired of upādhi; / insensibility should not come — in any matter.

The task-ruiner ruins; oneself mad watches idle; / lazy heart-empty — what does it know to do?

Pushing-pushing affair; how does it happen to the weak? / Various buddhis to the strong — therefore should be taught.

Where the enterprise is, stay; when the enterprise stops, rise and go; / wander as happiness — somewhere.

He who is released from upādhi — grows by niḥspṛha-ness; / wherever favourable, goes there — leisurely.

Seeking kīrti, no sukha; seeking sukha, no kīrti; / without doing, nothing — anywhere.

Otherwise what remains? Whatever is to happen, happens and goes; / every creature is weak — ahead.

First abandoning strength; in middle abandoning courage; / then samsāra to its end — how does it reach?

Samsāra is at root defective; by vivek it should be made neat; / made neat, it becomes insipid — continues happening.

Such is its inventory; on looking comes to mind; / but do not abandon patience — someone.

Abandoning patience, what happens? All must be borne; / various buddhis, various doctrines — the wise know.
