अष्टकप्रकरणम्
131
asvasthasyaiva bhaisajyam svasthasya tu na diyate. avāptasvāsthyakotinām bhogo’nnāderapārthakaḥ.
Medicine is administered only to sick one and not to healthy one. For liberated ones with excellent health, the feeding of food etc. is useless.
akiñcitkarakaṁ jñeyam mohābhāvādratādyapi. teşām kandvădyabhāvena hanta kandūyanādivat.
As in the absence of itching etc. scratching etc. is futile, similarly, their ( liberated ones ) delusion, eliminated, coupulation etc. also ( in their case ) be known as invain.
aparāyattamautsukyarahitaṁ nispratikriyam. sukhari svābhāvikaṁ tatra nityaṁ bhayavivarjitam.
There ( in the case of liberated ones ), the bliss is inherent, independent, free from anxiety or ardent desire, prevention or remedy and eternal ( hence ) free from fear.
paramānandarūpani tadgīyate’nyairvicakṣaṇaiḥ. ittham sakalakalyāṇarūpatvātsīmpratam hyadah.
Some other wisemen have depicted the liberation as the Supreme bliss. Being exclusively salutary in nautre, its this ( epithet ) is, surely proper.
saṁvedyam yogināmetadanyeșām śrutigocaraḥ. upamā'bhāvato vyaktamabhidhātuṁ na sakyate.
In the case of Omniscients, this ( bliss ) is directly perceptible, while for others it is perceptible by the ear. It (bliss of liberation ) can not be explicitly expressed in the absence of its analogy.
