4.2
parācaḥ kāmān anuyanti bālās te mṛtyor yanti vitatasya pāśam /
atha dhīrā amṛtatvaṃ viditvā dhruvam adhruveṣv iha na prārthayante //
2. The childish go after outward pleasures;
They walk into the net of widespread death.
But the wise, knowing immortality,
Seek not the stable among things which are unstable here.
4.2.p1
yena rūpaṃ rasaṃ gandhaṃ śabdān sparśīṃś ca maithunān /
etenaiva vijānāti kim atra pariśiṣyate //
3. That by which [one discerns] form, taste, smell,
Sound, and mutual touches—
It is with That indeed that one discerns.
What is there left over here!
