Dashaka 15
मतिरिह गुणसक्ता बन्धकृत्तेष्वसक्ता
त्वमृतकृदुपरुन्धे भक्तियोगस्तु सक्तिम् ।
महदनुगमलभ्या भक्तिरेवात्र साध्या
कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥१॥
त्वमृतकृदुपरुन्धे भक्तियोगस्तु सक्तिम् ।
महदनुगमलभ्या भक्तिरेवात्र साध्या
कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥१॥
| मति: इह | the intellect, here (in this world) |
| गुण-सक्ता | which is attached to the Gunas (and so to the sense objects) |
| बन्धकृत्- | is the cause of bondage |
| तेषु-असक्ता तु- | if it (the intellect) is not attached to them (the sense objects) |
| अमृत-कृत्- | (then) it is the cause of liberation |
| उपरुन्धे | (but) prevents |
| भक्तियोग:-तु | the path of devotion, indeed |
| सक्तिम् | (whereas) attachment |
| महत्-अनुगम-लभ्या भक्ति:- | devotion which arises from following holy men |
| एव-अत्र साध्या | alone should be sought here |
| कपिल-तनु:-इति त्वं | Thou incarnate as Kapil, thus |
| देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: | instructed Devahooti |
In this world when the intellect gets attached to the sense objects, which are the product of the three Gunas, it becomes the cause of bondage. Otherwise, it leads to liberation. The path of devotion indeed prevents attachment. Devotion which arises from following holy men alone should be saught after. Thou incarnate as Kapila thus instructed Devahooti.
प्रकृतिमहदहङ्काराश्च मात्राश्च भूता-
न्यपि हृदपि दशाक्षी पूरुष: पञ्चविंश: ।
इति विदितविभागो मुच्यतेऽसौ प्रकृत्या
कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥२॥
न्यपि हृदपि दशाक्षी पूरुष: पञ्चविंश: ।
इति विदितविभागो मुच्यतेऽसौ प्रकृत्या
कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥२॥
| प्रकृति-महत्-अहङ्कारा:-च | Prakriti, Mahat, Ahankaar and |
| मात्रा:-च | the five Tanmaatraas |
| भूतानि-अपि | and also the five elements |
| हृत्-अपि | and the mind |
| दश-आक्षी | the ten Indriyaas |
| पूरुष: पञ्चविंश | the Purusha as the twenty fifth |
| इति विदित-विभाग: | knowing these divisions |
| मुच्यते-असौ प्रकृत्या | he is released from Prakriti |
| कपिल-तनु:-इति त्वं | incarnate as Kapil, Thou |
| देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: | instructed Devahooti |
Prakriti, (Primordial Nature), Mahat-tatva (the great Spirit),Ahankaara (I sense), the five Tanmaatraas (sound, smell, touch, form, taste), the five Bhootaas (subtle elements- space,air,fire, water, earth), Antahkarana (mind and its various modes), the ten Indriyaas (Organs, five of knowledge-hearing, seeing, touch, taste smell, and five of action-speech,hands,legs,anus,genitals), and Purush (Atman), these are the twentyfive categories. When the Purusha realizes the distinctiveness of these categories, he is liberated from the bondage of Pakriti.Thus Thou incarnate as Kapila, instructed Devahooti.
प्रकृतिगतगुणौघैर्नाज्यते पूरुषोऽयं
यदि तु सजति तस्यां तत् गुणास्तं भजेरन् ।
मदनुभजनतत्त्वालोचनै: साऽप्यपेयात्
कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥३॥
यदि तु सजति तस्यां तत् गुणास्तं भजेरन् ।
मदनुभजनतत्त्वालोचनै: साऽप्यपेयात्
कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥३॥
| प्रकृति-गत-गुण-औघै:- | by the many attributes of Prakriti |
| न-आज्यते पूरुष:-अयं | this Purusha is not tainted |
| यदि तु सजति तस्यां | but if he becomes attached to Prakriti |
| तत् गुणा:-तं भजेरन् | the attributes of Prakriti attach themselves to him |
| मत्-अनुभजन- | by constant worship to me |
| तत्-तु-आलोचनै: | and by enquiring into My real nature |
| सा-अपि-अपेयात् | that Prakriti also will leave (her hold) |
| कपिलतनु:-इति त्वं | a human descent as Kapil Thou |
| देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: | instructed Devahooti |
The Purusha, by itself, is free from the attributes of Prakriti, but if he identifies himself with Pakriti, then the attributes of Prakriti attach themselves to him. Prakriti will leave its hold on Purusha if he constantly worships Me and enquires into My real nature. Thou incarnate as Kapila thus instructed Devahooti.

Thus, Thou incarnate as Kapil, instructed Devahooti.
अहह बहुलहिंसासञ्चितार्थै: कुटुम्बं

Being devoid of devotion to Me, intensely attached to the worldly possessions, they are led to the sufferings of hell. Thus, Thou instructed Devahooti, as Kapil incarnate.
युवतिजठरखिन्नो जातबोधोऽप्यकाण्डे
प्रसवगलितबोध: पीडयोल्लङ्घ्य बाल्यम् ।
