Aṣṭāvakra Gītā / Adhyāya 2
Adhyāya 2
Summary
Chapter 2 is Janaka. He speaks as one who has heard the answer. Confusion had mocked him. The waves of the world play by their own nature, and he is not the one who has to still them. The twenty-five verses are the recognition said in the king's mouth, not a second doctrine.

अध्याय २ मा राजा जनकको भनाइ प्रस्तुत छ। उहाँ उत्तर सुनिसकेको मानिसझैँ बोल्नुहुन्छ। भ्रमले उहाँको खिल्ली उडाएको थियो। संसारका लहर आफ्नै स्वभावले खेल्छन्, र तिनलाई शान्त पार्नुपर्ने मानिस उहाँ होइनन्। पच्चीस श्लोक राजाको मुखबाट भनिएको चिनारी हुन्, दोस्रो मत होइनन्।
