padam

कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः

padam — state

The wise, joined to understanding, let go of the fruit born of action, and freed from the bondage of birth they reach a state beyond harm.

यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः

padam — goal

What those who know the Vedas call imperishable, what those free of craving enter, what the seekers of the holy life desire — that path I will declare to you briefly.

ततः पदं तत्परिमार्गितव्य यस्मिन्गता न निवर्तन्ति भूयः

padam — place

one should then seek out that place from which, having gone, none return — and take refuge in the primal person from whom this whole unfolding came.

निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः

padam — abode

Free of vanity and delusion, having overcome the fault of attachment, constant in the self, free of longing, released from the opposites of pleasure and pain — such undeluded ones reach that unchanging place.

सर्वकर्माण्यपि सदा कुर्वाणो मद्व्यपाश्रयः

padam — abode

Though always performing every kind of action, one who takes full refuge in me reaches by my grace the imperishable, unchanging state.
