Translation

Verse 1

I bow down to the sage who lives in the heart of every being. He left home to wander as a renunciant before receiving the sacred thread, with no duty left to bind him. His father Dvaipāyana, stricken by the pain of parting, called after him, "My son!" and the trees, one with him in feeling, gave the answer.

Verse 2

I come for shelter to the son of Vyāsa, teacher of all sages. Moved by compassion for worldly souls who long to cross beyond blind darkness, he spoke this secret treasure among the Purāṇas: the one essence of every Veda, a lamp that lights up the self, filled with what he himself had realised.

Verse 3

His mind was full and at rest in the bliss of the self, and every other state of being had fallen away from him. Even so, the charming pastimes of the unconquerable Lord drew his heart, and in mercy he spread abroad this Purāṇa, a lamp that shows the truth about that Lord. I bow to the son of Vyāsa, who destroys all sin.
