  1. Verse 1

    (Invocation) oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate

    (Invocation) om purnam adah purnam idam purnat purnam udacyate purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate

    (Iन्वोचतिओन्) ओं पूर्णम अदः पूर्णम इदं पूर्णात पूर्णम उदच्यते पूर्णस्य पूर्णम आदाय पूर्णम एवावशिष्यते

    Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.

  2. Verse 1

    īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvaṁ yat kiṁ ca jagatyāṁ jagat tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svit dhanam

    isavasyam idam sarvam yat kim ca jagatyam jagat tena tyaktena bhunjitha ma grdhah kasya svit dhanam

    ईशावास्यम इदं सर्वं यत किं च जगत्यां जगत तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्य स्वित धनम

    Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.

  3. Verse 2

    kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatāṁ samāḥ evaṁ tvayi nānyatheto’sti na karma lipyate nare

    kurvann eveha karmani jijivisec chatam samah evam tvayi nanyatheto’sti na karma lipyate nare

    कुर्वन्न एवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच छतां समाः एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे

    One may aspire to live for hundreds of years if he continuously goes on working in that way, for that sort of work will not bind him to the law of karma. There is no alternative to this way for man.

  4. Verse 3

    asuryā nāma te lokā andhena tamasāvṛtāḥ tāṁs te pretyābhigacchanti ye ke cātma-hano janāḥ

    asurya nama te loka andhena tamasavrtah tams te pretyabhigacchanti ye ke catma-hano janah

    असुर्या नाम ते लोका अन्धेन तमसावृताः तांस ते प्रेत्याभिगच्छन्ति ये के चात्महनो जनाः

    The killer of the soul, whoever he may be, must enter into the planets known as the worlds of the faithless, full of darkness and ignorance.

  5. Verse 4

    anejad ekaṁ manaso javīyo nainad devā āpnuvan pūrvam arṣat tad dhāvato’nyān atyeti tiṣṭhat tasminn apo mātariśvā dadhāti

    anejad ekam manaso javiyo nainad deva apnuvan purvam arsat tad dhavato’nyan atyeti tisthat tasminn apo matarisva dadhati

    अनेजद एकं मनसो जवीयो नैनद देवा आप्नुवन पूर्वम अर्षत तद धावतोऽन्यान अत्येति तिष्ठत तस्मिन्न अपो मातरिश्वा दधाति

    Although fixed in His abode, the Personality of Godhead is swifter than the mind and can overcome all others running. The powerful demigods cannot approach Him. Although in one place, He controls those who supply the air and rain. He surpasses all in excellence.

  6. Verse 5

    tad ejati tan naijati tad dūre tad u antike tad antarasya sarvasya tad u sarvasyāsya bāhyataḥ

    tad ejati tan naijati tad dure tad u antike tad antarasya sarvasya tad u sarvasyasya bahyatah

    तद एजति तन नैजति तद दूरे तद उ अन्तिके तद अन्तरस्य सर्वस्य तद उ सर्वस्यास्य बाह्यतः

    The Supreme Lord walks and does not walk. He is far away, but He is very near as well. He is within everything, and yet He is outside of everything.

  7. Verse 6

    yas tu sarvāṇi bhūtāni ātmany evānupaśyati sarva-bhūteṣu cātmānaṁ tato na vijugupsate

    yas tu sarvani bhutani atmany evanupasyati sarva-bhutesu catmanam tato na vijugupsate

    यस तु सर्वाणि भूतानि आत्मन्य एवानुपश्यति सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं ततो न विजुगुप्सते

    He who sees everything in relation to the Supreme Lord, who sees all living entities as His parts and parcels, and who sees the Supreme Lord within everything never hates anything or any being.

  8. Verse 7

    yasmin sarvāṇi bhūtāni ātmaivābhūd vijānataḥ tatra ko mohaḥ kaḥ śoka ekatvam anupaśyataḥ

    yasmin sarvani bhutani atmaivabhud vijanatah tatra ko mohah kah soka ekatvam anupasyatah

    यस्मिन सर्वाणि भूतानि आत्मैवाभूद विजानतः तत्र को मोहः कः शोक एकत्वम अनुपश्यतः

    One who always sees all living entities as spiritual sparks, in quality one with the Lord, becomes a true knower of things. What, then, can be illusion or anxiety for him?

  9. Verse 8

    sa paryagāc chrutam akāyam avraṇam sanāviraṁ śuddham apāpa-viddham kavir manīṣī paribhūḥ svayambhūr yāthātathyato’rthān vyadadhāt śāśvatībhyaḥ samābhyaḥ

    Such a person must factually know the greatest of all, the Personality of Godhead, who is unembodied, omniscient, beyond reproach, without veins, pure and uncontaminated, the self-sufficient philosopher who has been fulfilling everyone's desire since time immemorial.

  10. Verse 9

    andhaṁ tamaḥ praviśanti ye’vidyām upāsate tato bhūya iva te tamo ya u vidyāyā ratāḥ

    andham tamah pravisanti ye’vidyam upasate tato bhuya iva te tamo ya u vidyaya ratah

    अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्याम उपासते ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ विद्याया रताः

    Those who engage in the culture of nescient activities shall enter into the darkest region of ignorance. Worse still are those engaged in the culture of so-called knowledge.

  11. Verse 10

    anyad evāhur vidyayā anyad āhur avidyayā iti śuśrūma dhīrāṇāṁ ye nas tad vicacakṣire

    anyad evahur vidyaya anyad ahur avidyaya iti susruma dhiranam ye nas tad vicacaksire

    अन्यद एवाहुर विद्यया अन्यद आहुर अविद्यया इति शुश्रूम धीराणां ये नस तद विचचक्षिरे

    The wise have explained that one result is derived from the culture of knowledge and that a different result is obtained from the culture of nescience.

    vidyam cavidyam ca yas tad vedobhayam saha avidyaya mrtyum tirtva vidyayamrtam asnute

    विद्यां चाविद्यां च यस तद वेदोभयं सह अविद्यया मृत्युं तीर्त्वा विद्ययामृतम अश्नुते

    Only one who can learn the process of nescience and that of transcendental knowledge side by side can transcend the influence of repeated birth and death and enjoy the full blessings of immortality.

  13. Verse 12

    andhaṁ tamaḥ praviśanti ye’sambhūtim upāsate tato bhūya iva te tamo ya u sambhūtyāṁ ratāḥ

    andham tamah pravisanti ye’sambhutim upasate tato bhuya iva te tamo ya u sambhutyam ratah

    अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽसम्भूतिम उपासते ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ सम्भूत्यां रताः

    Those who are engaged in the worship of demigods enter into the darkest region of ignorance, and still more so do the worshipers of the impersonal Absolute.

  14. Verse 13

    anyad evāhuḥ sambhavād anyad āhur asambhavāt iti śuśrūma dhīrāṇāṁ ye nas tad vicacakṣire

    anyad evahuh sambhavad anyad ahur asambhavat iti susruma dhiranam ye nas tad vicacaksire

    अन्यद एवाहुः सम्भवाद अन्यद आहुर असम्भवात इति शुश्रूम धीराणां ये नस तद विचचक्षिरे

    It is said that one result is obtained by worshiping the supreme cause of all causes and that another result is obtained by worshiping what is not supreme. All this is heard from the undisturbed authorities, who clearly explained it.

  15. Verse 14

    sambhūtiṁ ca vināśaṁ ca yas tad vedobhayaṁ saha vināśena mṛtyuṁ tīrtvā sambhūtyāmṛtam aśnute

    sambhutim ca vinasam ca yas tad vedobhayam saha vinasena mrtyum tirtva sambhutyamrtam asnute

    सम्भूतिं च विनाशं च यस तद वेदोभयं सह विनाशेन मृत्युं तीर्त्वा सम्भूत्यामृतम अश्नुते

    One should know perfectly the Personality of Godhead Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His transcendental name, form, qualities and pastimes, as well as the temporary material creation with its temporary demigods, men and animals. When one knows these, he surpasses death and the ephemeral cosmic manifestation with it, and in the eternal kingdom of God he enjoys his eternal life of bliss and knowledge.

  16. Verse 15

    hiraṇmayena pātreṇa satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham tat tvaṁ pūṣann apāvṛṇu satya-dharmāya dṛṣṭaye

    hiranmayena patrena satyasyapihitam mukham tat tvam pusann apavrnu satya-dharmaya drstaye

    हिरण्मयेन पात्रेण सत्यस्यापिहितं मुखम तत त्वं पूषन्न अपावृणु सत्यधर्माय दृष्टये

    O Lord, sustainer of all that lives, Your real face is covered by Your dazzling effulgence. Kindly remove that covering and exhibit Yourself to Your pure devotee.

  17. Verse 16

    pūṣann ekarṣe yama sūrya prājāpatya vyūha raśmīn samūha tejo yat te rūpaṁ kalyāṇatamaṁ tat te paśyāmi yo’sāv asau puruṣaḥ so’ham asmi

    pusann ekarse yama surya prajapatya vyuha rasmin samuha tejo yat te rupam kalyanatamam tat te pasyami yo’sav asau purusah so’ham asmi

    पूषन्न एकर्षे यम सूर्य प्राजापत्य व्यूह रश्मीन समूह तेजो यत ते रूपं कल्याणतमं तत ते पश्यामि योऽसाव असौ पुरुषः सोऽहम अस्मि

    O Lord, O primeval philosopher, maintainer of the universe, O regulating principle, destination of the pure devotees, well-wisher of the progenitors of mankind, please remove the effulgence of Your transcendental rays so that I can see Your form of bliss. You are the eternal Supreme Personality of Godhead, like unto the sun, as am I.

  18. Verse 17

    vāyur anilam amṛtam athedaṁ bhasmāntaṁ śarīram oṁ krato smara kṛtaṁ smara krato smara kṛtaṁ smara

    वायुर अनिलम अमृतम अथेदं भस्मान्तं शरीरम ओं क्रतो स्मर कृतं स्मर क्रतो स्मर कृतं स्मर

    Let this temporary body be burnt to ashes, and let the air of life be merged with the totality of air. Now, O Lord, please remember all my sacrifices, and because You are the ultimate beneficiary, please remember all that I have done for You.

  19. Verse 18

    अग्ने नय सुपथा राये अस्मान विश्वानि देव वायुनानि विद्वान युयोध्यस्मज जुहुराणम एनो भूयिष्ठां ते नमौक्तिं विधेम

    O Lord, as powerful as fire, O omnipotent one, now I offer You all obeisances, falling on the ground at Your feet. O Lord, please lead me on the right path to reach You, and since You know all that I have done in the past, please free me from the reactions to my past sins so that there will be no hindrance to my progress.
