जनक उवाच- तत्त्वविज्ञानसन्दंश- मादाय हृदयोदरात्। नानाविधपरामर्श- शल्योद्धारः कृतो मया॥१९- १॥

Janaka says: Using the tweezers of the knowledge of the truth I have managed to extract the painful thorn of endless opinions from the recesses of my heart.

For me, established in my own glory, there is no religion, sensuality, possessions, philosophy, duality or even non-duality.

क्व भूतं क्व भविष्यद् वा वर्तमानमपि क्व वा। क्व देशः क्व च वा नित्यं स्वमहिम्नि स्थितस्य मे॥१९- ३॥

For me established in my own glory, there is no past, future or present. There is no space or even eternity.

क्व चात्मा क्व च वानात्मा क्व शुभं क्वाशुभं तथा। क्व चिन्ता क्व च वाचिन्ता स्वमहिम्नि स्थितस्य मे॥१९- ४॥

There is no self or non-self, nothing auspicious or evil, no thought or absence of them for me, who is established in Self.

क्व स्वप्नः क्व सुषुप्तिर्वा क्व च जागरणं तथा। क्व तुरियं भयं वापि स्वमहिम्नि स्थितस्य मे॥१९- ५॥
