bhagavān nyāsināṁ gatiḥ
yatra nārāyaṇaḥ sākṣād
bhagavān nyāsināṁ gatiḥ
saṁstūyate sat-kathāsu
mukta-saṅgaiḥ punaḥ punaḥ
In that association, Nārāyaṇa, the Supreme Lord, the goal of the sannyāsīs, is repeatedly praised by persons without material contamination through pure discussions.
|| 4.30.37 ||
teṣāṁ vicaratāṁ padbhyāṁ
tīrthānāṁ pāvanecchayā
bhītasya kiṁ na roceta
tāvakānāṁ samāgamaḥ
When the devotees, with a desire to be purified, wander to the holy places, should not a person suffering fear of this world relish a meeting with those devotees?
The holy places, with a desire to be purified, think “Let us be purified when the devotees take bath in our rivers.” They think it is good fortune that the devotees come and purify them. But the devotees go there for getting purified by the holy places. Bhītasya means “one who fears material life.”
|| 4.30.38 ||
vayaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavan bhavasya
priyasya sakhyuḥ kṣaṇa-saṅgamena
suduścikitsyasya bhavasya mṛtyor
bhiṣaktamaṁ tvādya gatiṁ gatāḥ sma
O Lord! By association with your dear friend Śiva, we have today attained you, the best remedy for birth and death, which are difficult to cure.
The boon we want from attaining you, the result of attaining you, is association with devotees. The sādhana for attaining you is also association of devotees. That is stated here. By meeting Śiva, who is a dear friend to you (priyasya sakhyuḥ), we have achieved you, the best remedy for the disease of birth (bhavasya) and death.
|| 4.30.39-40 ||
yan naḥ svadhītaṁ guravaḥ prasāditā
viprāś ca vṛddhāś ca sad-ānuvṛttyā
āryā natāḥ suhṛdo bhrātaraś ca
sarvāṇi bhūtāny anasūyayaiva
yan naḥ sutaptaṁ tapa etad īśa
nirandhasāṁ kālam adabhram apsu
sarvaṁ tad etat puruṣasya bhūmno
