Appendix IV: Śrīmad's Ãtma-siddhi Śāstra
Sakala jagata te eṭhavat, athavā svapna samāna; Te kahiye jñānīdaśā, bākī vācājñāna. 140
The seer's state is thus described, The world to him is like a dream; Or left-off food when satisfied, The rest are lip-wise, not supreme. 140
स्थानक पांच विचारीने, छट्टे वर्ते जेह ।
पामे स्थानक पांच, एमां नहि संदेह ॥ १४१ ॥
Sthānaka panica vicarine, chatthe varte jeha; Pāme sthānaka pānicamum, emām nahi sandeha. 141
Who thinks of first five doctrines well, According to the sixth who acts;
Attains the fifth, great seers tell,
No doubts maintain in these true facts. 141
देह छतां जेनी दशा, वर्ते देहातीत ।
ते ज्ञानीना चरणमां, हो वंदन अगणित ॥ १४२ ॥
Deha chata jenî daśā, varte dehātīta; Te jñānīnā caraṇamāmi, ho vandana aganita. 142
I often bow to him who lives, Though in body, above it; The seer's word always survives. The North-pole-star resembles it. 142
