In the Twenty-ninth Chapter, the spiritual explanation of the story of Purañjana is given, along with questions of the King concerning karma and a story to illustrate renunciation.
I have understood a little of the meaning of this story.
|| 4.29.2 ||
nārada uvāca
puruṣaṁ purañjanaṁ vidyād
yad vyanakty ātmanaḥ puram
eka-dvi-tri-catuṣ-pādaṁ
bahu-pādam apādakam
Nārada said: Know that Purañjana is the jīva who manifests his city or body with one, two, three, or many legs, or without legs at all.
Puruṣam means the jīva.
|| 4.29.3 ||
yo 'vijñātāhṛtas tasya
puruṣasya sakheśvaraḥ
yan na vijñāyate pumbhir
nāmabhir vā kriyā-guṇaiḥ
He who was described as unknown, the friend of the jīva, is the Supreme Lord, since man does not recognize him by his names, his actions or his qualities.
He who was described by the word “unknown” is the Lord.
|| 4.29.4 ||
yadā jighṛkṣan puruṣaḥ
kārtsnyena prakṛter guṇān
nava-dvāraṁ dvi-hastāṅghri
tatrāmanuta sādhv iti
When the jīva desires to enjoy the guṇas of prakṛti fully, he thinks that, among the different bodies, the one with nine openings, two hands and two feet is most suitable.
Tatra means among the bodies of the different species like animals.
|| 4.29.5 ||
buddhiṁ tu pramadāṁ vidyān
mamāham iti yat-kṛtam
yām adhiṣṭhāya dehe 'smin
pumān bhuṅkte 'kṣabhir guṇān
Know that the women is intelligence (actually ignorance), which produces the concepts of I and mine, taking shelter of which, the jīva enjoys the guṇas with his senses in the body.
Buddhim means ignorance. Akṣabhiḥ means “by the senses.”
|| 4.29.6 ||
