तस्मात्कामश्च लोभश्च तृष्णा कार्पण्यमेव च । त्यजन्तु मां प्रतिष्ठन्तं सत्त्वस्थो ह्यस्मि सांप्रतम् ॥
tasmātkāmaśca lobhaśca tṛṣṇā kārpaṇyameva ca | tyajantu māṃ pratiṣṭhantaṃ sattvastho hyasmi sāṃpratam ||
So let desire and greed, thirst and meanness leave me as I set out, for now I stand firm in clarity.
इसलिए काम, लोभ, तृष्णा और कृपणता, ये सब मुझे छोड़ दें, अब मैं आगे बढ़ रहा हूँ, क्योंकि अब मैं सत्त्व में स्थित हूँ।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Starting afresh means leaving certain habits of heart behind: grasping, greed, stinginess. A clearer mind is what makes that possible.
नई शुरुआत का अर्थ है मन की कुछ आदतें पीछे छोड़ना: पकड़, लोभ, कंजूसी। एक स्वच्छ मन ही यह संभव बनाता है।
In the story Bhishma tells (12.171), Mankin speaks to himself and to Desire after losing his last wealth: desire, greed, thirst and meanness should leave him as he sets out; he now stands in clarity (sattva).
