Translation

Jaḍa Bharata, who had fully realized Brahman, continued: My dear King Rahūgaṇa, the living entity wanders on the path of the material world, which is very difficult for him to traverse, and he accepts repeated birth and death. Being captivated by the material world under the influence of the three modes of material nature (sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa and tamo-guṇa), the living entity can see only the three fruits of activities under the spell of material nature. These fruits are auspicious, inauspicious and mixed. He thus becomes attached to religion, economic development, sense gratification and the monistic theory of liberation (merging with the Supreme). He works very hard day and night exactly like a merchant who enters a forest to acquire some articles to sell later for profit. However, he cannot really achieve happiness within this material world.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

जडभरतने कहा— राजन्! यह जीवसमूह सुखरूप धनमें आसक्त देश-देशान्तरमें घूम-फिरकर व्यापार करनेवाले व्यापारियोंके दलके समान है। इसे मायाने दुस्तर प्रवृत्तिमार्गमें लगा दिया है; इसलिये इसकी दृष्टि सात्त्विक, राजस, तामस भेदसे नाना प्रकारके कर्मोंपर ही जाती है। उन कर्मोंमें भटकता-भटकता यह संसाररूप जंगलमें पहुँच जाता है। वहाँ इसे तनिक भी शान्ति नहीं मिलती॥ १॥
