Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.
Sanskrit
आत्मानमेवात्मतयाविजानतां
तेनैव जातं निखिलं प्रपञ्चितम् ।
ज्ञानेन भूयोऽपि च तत् प्रलीयते
रज्ज्वामहेर्भोगभवाभवौ यथा ॥ २५ ॥
Transliteration
ātmānam evātmatayāvijānatāṁ
tenaiva jātaṁ nikhilaṁ prapañcitam
jñānena bhūyo ’pi ca tat pralīyate
rajjvām aher bhoga-bhavābhavau yathā
Synonyms
ātmānam — Yourself; eva — indeed; ātmatayā — as the Supreme Soul; avijānatām — for those who do not understand; tena — by that; eva — alone; jātam — is generated; nikhilam — the entire; prapañcitam — material existence; jñānena — by knowledge; bhūyaḥ api — once again; ca — and; tat — that material existence; pralīyate — disappears; rajjvām — within a rope; aheḥ — of a snake; bhoga — of the body; bhava-abhavau — the apparent appearance and disappearance; yathā — just as.
Translation
A person who mistakes a rope for a snake becomes fearful, but he then gives up his fear upon realizing that the so-called snake does not exist. Similarly, for those who fail to recognize You as the Supreme Soul of all souls, the expansive illusory material existence arises, but knowledge of You at once causes it to subside.
