योऽभिध्यायन् अनित्याशुचिदुःखानुविद्धतया चिन्तयन् उत्पतिष्णून् उत्पत्योत्पत्य पतन्तीत्युत्पतनशीला उत्पतिष्णवो विषयाः तान् निहन्यात् परित्यजेत् अनाचारेण अनादरेण औदासीन्येनामेध्यदर्शने इव अप्रतिबुध्यमानः पुनरचिन्तयन् स वै पुरुषो मृत्योरपि मृत्युर्भूत्वा मृत्युरिवात्ति मृत्युम् ।उक्तं च—‘विषयप्रतिसंहारं यः करोति विवेकतः ।मृत्योर्मृत्युरिति ख्यातः स विद्वानात्मवित्कविः’ इति ॥
In plain words
He who contemplates sense objects as fleeting, impure, and soaked in sorrow—recognizing them as bubbles that rise only to burst—casts them aside with utter indifference, turning from them as one turns from filth. Ignoring their appeal and refusing to dwell on them, that person becomes a very death to death itself, devouring mortality. As it is said: 'Whoever withdraws from sense objects through discrimination is celebrated as the conqueror of death, the knower of the Self, the true seer.'
Close to the Sanskrit
Who, brooding upon them as permeated by impermanence, impurity, and sorrow, as transient objects rising and falling, should destroy and abandon them with disregard, disrespect, indifference, like seeing filth, not waking up to them and not thinking of them again—that person indeed, becoming a death to death itself, devours death like death. And it has been said: 'He who withdraws from objects through discrimination is renowned as a death to death, a wise man, a knower of the Self, a seer.'
