pravṛittim

आख्याहि मे को भवानुग्ररूपो नमोऽस्तु ते देववर प्रसीद

prasīda — be merciful

Tell me who you are, you of fearful form. I bow to you; have mercy, best of gods. I wish to know you as you are at the first, for I do not understand what you are doing.

लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा

pravṛittiḥ — activity

Greed, busyness, the undertaking of actions, restlessness and craving arise when restlessness has grown strong.

प्रकाशं च प्रवृत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव

prakāśham — illumination

Light, busyness and delusion — one who does not hate them when they arise, and does not long for them when they cease;

ततः पदं तत्परिमार्गितव्य यस्मिन्गता न निवर्तन्ति भूयः

prapadye — take refuge

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.

प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः

pravṛittim — proper actions

Those of the other nature do not understand what should be done and what should not. In them there is no purity, no right conduct, no truth.

प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च कार्याकार्ये भयाभये

pravṛittim — activities

The understanding that knows action and inaction, what should be done and what should not, fear and fearlessness, bondage and release, is of clarity.

यतः प्रवृत्तिर्भूतानां येन सर्वमिदं ततम्

pravṛittiḥ — have come into being

By worshipping through their own work the one from whom all beings arise and by whom all this is pervaded, a person reaches perfection.
