Verse 37

Tap any word for its meaning.

श्रुत्या निरुक्तं सुखतारतम्यंब्रह्मान्तमारभ्य महीमहेशम् ।औपाधिकं तत्तु न वास्तवं चे -दालोच्य को वा विरतिं न याति ॥ ३७ ॥

In plain words

Who, upon realizing through scripture that the entire hierarchy of happiness—from the creator Brahmā down to a petty earthly ruler—is merely conditioned by limitations and utterly transient, would not feel dispassion arise?

Close to the Sanskrit

If the gradation of happiness declared by the Veda, beginning from Brahmā down to the great earthly king, is conditioned and not real, having considered this, who does not go to detachment?
