CHAPTER 35
1.May the Beautiful God, grant this soul, the singer of vedic hymns, full opportunity for work with the lustre of knowledge during all the days and nights of life.
Soul's Journey
2. O soul, God grants for thy bodies in different births, according to thy deeds a happy or unhappy place on this earth. May radiant beams prove helpful to thee.
3. O soul, let air purify thee, let God purify thee with lightning's glitter and sun's lustre. Let beams release thee.
4. O souls, God has placed ye in this ephemeral world, and made your mansion in this life, ever changing like a leaf. Worship the Perfect God alone. Through His grace, establish yourself laboriously in religion, and acquire worldly possessions, vedic lore and control over passions.
5. O girl, forbearing like the earth, the father establishes thy asylum on the Earth, kind like a mother, Be pleasant unto him.
6. O soul, May God soon drive away our sin. I establish thee in Him, the protector of men and worthy of worship, near a beautiful place full of water.
7. Go hence, O Death, pursue thy special pathway apart from that which the virtuous are won't to tread. To thee that sees and hears, I say, 'Kill not our offspring, injure not our heroes. 1
8. Pleasant to thce be wind and Sun, and pleasant be the bricks to thee. Pleasant to thee be the terrestrial fires : let not these things put thee to grief.
9. O soul, let the regions, the waters, and the seas be most propi-tious for thee. Auspicious unto thee be the atmosphere. Prosper all sub-quarters well for thee.
10. On flows this stormy, sensual river-like world, work cautiously, my friends, arise and overcome all obstacles.
Let us abandon what is profitless in this world, and enjoy excellent foods.
11. O God, the remover of sins, drive away from us sin, the impurity of soul, evil deeds, the offence committed by our unsteady external organs, and evil thoughts.
12. To us let waters, and the medicinal plants be friendly, to him who hates us, whom we hate, unfriendly.
13. Electricity carries us the learned to distant places. Just as an ox carries the cart, so we use this electricity for prosperity in preparing planes and seating people therein. May that serve as lightning for you.
14. May we always keeping in view, eagerly know and realize God, free from the darkness of ignorance. Self-Effulgent, Releaser from afflictions, the most Learned of the learned, the Light that is most Excellent.
15. So that none may confiscate speedily the wealth amassed through exertion by these souls, I establish a law of morality, following which you can live for a hundred lengthened autumns, and keep death away through celibacy and knowledge.
16. God, Thou purifiest our lives. Grant us vigorous strength and knowledge. Punish adequately the violent far or near.
17. O King brilliant like fire, just as fire fanned by butter, with source of lustre, waxes with oblations, so shouldstthou live long.
When thou hast assimilated the cow's fair savoury ghee, guard nicely, as a father guards his son, thy subjects.
18. If all study the vedas, enter domestic life after due ceremony, listen to the spiritual teachings of the learned , who will then attack them with success ?
19. I, the knower, drive away the eater of raw meat, ^and the tormentor of men like fire, and cast aside the sinners.
Let all criminals be brought before the Court of Justice. Let a noble soul, in this world, drive useful knowledge from the learned.
20. O intelligent person, thou knowest thy parents established far away, for them cultivate the land. Let rivulets full of water flow to meet them, and let their truthful wishes be accomplished in a decent
manner.
21. O wife calm like the Earth, give us far reaching pleasure, as does the Earth, free from thorn, our resting-place. Just as a just ruler drives away our sin, so shouldst thou eradicate our evil.
22. O learned person, thou art foremost amongst men. May this son born anew from thee, be fair to look at, and enjoy fair reputation and happiness.
2. O soul, God grants for thy bodies in different births, according to thy deeds a happy or unhappy place on this earth. May radiant beams prove helpful to thee.
