hy arūpasya cid-ātmanaḥ
māyā-guṇair viracitaṁ
mahadādibhir ātmani

adṛṣṭāśruta-vastutvāt
(32) This unmanifested self in the beyond that cannot be seen or heard, has no form that is affected by the modes of nature - thàt is the living being that takes birth repeatedly.
1.3.33
avidyayātmani kṛte
(33) As soon as one realizes that all these gross and
subtle forms originate in the self because of ignorance, they lose their value
and so one achieves association with the divine.
1.3.34
yady eṣoparatā devī
sampanna eveti vidur

with the full knowledge of enlightenment and thus being established able to see
the glories of the Self.

births and activities has been described by the learned as being undetectable
even in the Vedas.

(36) Residing within every living being He, the omnipotent
master of the senses whose play is spotless, is independent and unaffected by
creation, destruction and maintenance.
1.3.37
(37) Because of His
manipulations He, acting like an actor in a drama, by the ones with a poor fund
of knowledge cannot be known in His activities, names and forms by means of
speculation and oration.
1.3.38
yo 'māyayā santatayānuvṛttyā
(38) Only he who renders unconditional, uninterrupted,
favorable service to His fragrant lotus feet may know the transcendental
glories of the all-powerful Creator with the wheel of the chariot in His hand.
1.3.39
(39) In this world one can be successful if one knows
everything about the Personality of Godhead who embraces all of His universes
and who inspires for the complete of the spirit of ecstasy in which one will
never find the dreaded vicious circles of worldly interest."
1.3.40
(40) "This book containing the story of the Personality of Godhead and His devotees was compiled by the wise man of God and is, as a supplement to the Vedas, there for the ultimate good of bringing success, happiness and perfection to all people.
1.3.41
sarva-vedetihāsānāḿ
(41) S'rîla Vyâsadeva delivered this story, which
constitutes the cream he managed to extract from all the Vedic literatures and
histories, to his son who is the most respectable one among the self-realized.
1.3.42
mahārājaḿ parīkṣitam
prāyopaviṣṭaḿ gańgāyāḿ
parītaḿ paramarṣibhiḥ
(42) He on his turn told it to emperor Parîkchit who surrounded by the wise sat down at the Ganges to fast until his death.
1.3.43
purāṇārko 'dhunoditaḥ
(43) Now that Krishna has left for His abode and with Him
also proper conduct and spiritual insight have vanished, this Purâna bright as
the sun has appeared at the horizon for the sake of everyone who in the Age of
Quarrel [Kali-yuga] has lost his vision.
1.3.44
(44) When I heard
the story from that powerful, great sage, I, being perfectly attentive by his
mercy, managed to understand it as well, so that I from my own realization now
am able to relate it to you."
