पुण्यपापात्मकं कर्म सुखदुःखफलं तु यत् ॥ अनादिमलभोगान्तमज्ञानात्मसमाश्रयम् ॥ २६ ॥

Whatever action is consisting of pious and sinful activities is the result of happiness and distress. Beginningless, pure enjoyment, endless, ignorance, self-realization.

english translation

भोगः कर्मविनाशाय भोगमव्यक्तमुच्यते ॥ बाह्यांतःकरणद्वारं शरीरं भोगसाधनम् ॥ २७ ॥

Bhoga is the destruction of action, and enjoyment is called unmanifest. The body is the gateway to the external and internal consciousness and the means of enjoyment.

english translation

भावातिशयलब्धेन प्रसादेन मलक्षयः ॥ क्षीणे चात्ममले तस्मिन् पुमाञ्च्छिवसमो भवेत् ॥ २८ ॥

By grace obtained by excessive emotion the dirt is eradicated. When the self-purity is depleted in that state a man becomes equal to Lord Shiva.

english translation

मुनय ऊचुः कलादिपञ्चतत्त्वानां किं कर्म पृथगुच्यते ॥ भोक्तेति पुरुषश्चेति येनात्मा व्यपदिश्यते ॥ २९ ॥

The sages said:— What are the several functions of the five principles Kalā etc.? Why is Atman called the enjoyer and Puruṣa?

english translation

किमात्मकं तदव्यक्तं केनाकारेण भुज्यते ॥ किं तस्य शरणं भुक्तौ शरीरं च किमुच्यते ॥ ३० ॥

Of what nature is that unmanifest? In what form is it enjoyed? What is its instrument in the act of enjoyment? What is it called body?
