Aṣṭāvakra Gītā / Adhyāya 3
Adhyāya 3
Summary
Chapter 3 is Aṣṭāvakra (अष्टावक्र) again. How delight in wealth and the body can remain is the question the verses undo. The one who knows the self as the witness does not have a further task of arranging the world. Enjoyment comes of itself. The instruction is to stay with what chapter 1 said.

अध्याय ३ मा फेरि अष्टावक्रको भनाइ प्रस्तुत छ। धन र शरीरमा रमाइलो कसरी रहिरहन्छ भन्ने प्रश्नलाई श्लोकहरूले निर्मूल पार्छन्। आत्मालाई साक्षी जान्नेसँग संसार मिलाउनुपर्ने अर्को काम हुँदैन। भोग आफैँ आउँछ। उपदेश भनेको अध्याय १ मा भनिएकै कुरामा रहनु हो।
