My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Then, that Abode must be sought, having reached which one would not return. The Yogin would attain nothing but that Primal Person, from Whom the old activity (world creation) commences.

Shri Purohit Swami

Beyond lies the Path, from which, when found, there is no return. This is the Primal God from whence this ancient creation has sprung.

Swami Adidevananda

Then, one should seek that goal attaining which one never returns. One should seek refuge with that Primal Person from whom streamed forth this ancient activity.

Swami Gambirananda

Thereafter, that State has to be sought for, going where they do not return again: I take refuge in that Primeval Person Himself, from whom has ensued the eternal Manifestation.

Swami Sivananda

Then that goal should be sought after, whither having gone none returns again. Seek refuge in that Primeval Purusha whence streamed forth the ancient activity or energy.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

The sun does not illuminate That; nor the moon nor the fire; That is My Supreme Abode, having gone to Which they (Yogins) never return.

Shri Purohit Swami

Neither sun, moon, nor fire shines there. Those who go thither never come back. For, O Arjuna, that is my Celestial Home!

Swami Adidevananda

That supreme light (i.e. the individual self), reaching which they do not return any more, is Mine; the sun does not illumine It, nor moon, nor the fire.

Swami Gambirananda

Neither the sun nor the moon nor fire illumines That. That is My supreme Abode, reaching which they do not return.

Swami Sivananda

Neither doth the sun illumine there, nor the moon, nor the fire; having gone thither they return not; that is My supreme abode.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Those who are rid of pride and delusion, have put down the evils of attachment, remain constantly in their own nature of the Self, have their desires completely departed, and are fully liberated from the pairs known as pleasures and pains—these undeluded men go to that changeless Abode.

Shri Purohit Swami

The wise attain Eternity when, freed from pride and delusion, they have conquered their love for the things of sense; when, renouncing desire and fixing their gaze on the Self, they have ceased to be tossed to and fro by the opposing sensations, like pleasure and pain.

Swami Adidevananda

Without the delusion of perverse notions (concerning the self), victorious over the evil of attachment, ever devoted to the self, turned away from desires and liberated from dualities called pleasure and pain, the undeluded go to that imperishable status.

Swami Gambirananda

The wise ones who are free from pride and non-discrimination, who have conquered the evil of association, [Hatred and love arising from association with foes and friends.] who are ever devoted to spirituquality, completely free from desires, free from the dualities called happiness and sorrow, reach that undecaying State.

Swami Sivananda

Free from pride and delusion, victorious over the evil of attachment, dwelling constantly in the Self, their desires having completely turned away, freed from the pairs of opposites known as pleasure and pain, the undeluded reach the eternal goal.
