इरितम् उक्तं यद् वाक्यं तत् संपूज्य संमान्य सनत्सुजातं सनदिति सनातनं ब्रह्मोच्यते हिरण्यगर्भाख्यम्, तस्मात्सनातनाद् ब्रह्मणो मानसात् ज्ञानवैराग्यादिसमन्वितः सुष्ठु जात इति सनत्सुजात इत्युक्तो भगवान् सनत्कुमारः; तं रहिते रहसि प्राकृतजनवर्जिते देशे महात्मा महाबुद्धिः पप्रच्छ पृष्टवान् बुद्धिं परमाम् उत्तमां पूर्णानन्दाद्वितीयविषयाम् ।किमर्थम्? बुभूषन् भवितुमिच्छन्, ब्रह्मविद्यया अपहतमात्मानं लब्धुमिच्छन्नित्यर्थः ॥
In plain words
Having honored that spoken request, the great sage Sanatsujata—whose very name means 'well-born from the eternal mind of Hiranyagarbha' and who is endowed with supreme wisdom and dispassion—was approached by the great-souled and profound seeker in a quiet place free from ordinary crowds. In solitude, the seeker asked him about the highest, unsurpassed wisdom concerning non-dual bliss. Why? Desiring to realize his true nature and wash away all defilements through the liberating knowledge of the absolute.
Close to the Sanskrit
That stated request having been worshipped and honored, Sanatsujata—'sanat' is said to be the eternal Brahman named Hiranyagarbha, from that eternal Brahman, born of the mind, thoroughly born endowed with knowledge, dispassion, and other virtues, thus the venerable Sanatkumara is called Sanatsujata; him in a secluded place, private, free from ordinary people, the great-souled one of great intellect asked, questioning about the supreme, unsurpassed wisdom concerning the non-dual full bliss. For what purpose? Desiring to become, wishing to attain the self freed from evil through knowledge of Brahman, this is the meaning.
