Note: This verse is Bhagavan’s adaptation of Yōga Vāsiṣṭham 5.18.24 and 26: कृत्रिमोल्लास हर्षस्थः कृत्रिमोद्वेगगर्हणः । कृत्रिमारम्भसंरम्भो लोके विहर राघव ॥ kṛtrimōllāsa harṣasthaḥ kṛtrimōdvēgagarhaṇaḥ | kṛtrimārambhasaṁrambhō lōkē vihara rāghava || आशापाशशतोन्मुक्तः समः सर्वासु वृत्तिषु । बहिः प्रकृतिकार्यस्थो लोके विहर राघव ॥ āśāpāśaśatōnmuktaḥ samaḥ sarvāsu vṛttiṣu | bahiḥ prakṛtikāryasthō lōkē vihara rāghava || Verse 28: aṟivuṇmai niṭṭaṉā māṉmavit tāvā ṉaṟivāṟ pulaṉceṯṟā ṉārtā — ṉaṟivaṅgi yāvaṉaṟi vāṅkuliśat tāṉkāla kālaṉavaṉ cāviṉaimāy vīraṉeṉac cāṯṟu. Padacchēdam (word-separation): aṟivu uṇmai niṭṭaṉ ām āṉma-vittu āvāṉ aṟivāl pulaṉ seṯṟāṉ ār tāṉ; aṟivu aṅgi āvaṉ; aṟivu ām kuliśattāṉ; kāla-kālaṉ avaṉ sāviṉai māy vīraṉ eṉa sāṯṟu. Note: This verse, which is also included in Guru Vācaka Kōvai as verse B20, is Bhagavan’s adaptation of the following verse, the source of which is unknown (though according to some accounts it is from Yōga Vāsiṣṭham, but as I explain above in the introduction, I doubt whether it actually is): विषयप्रतिसंहारं यः करोति विवेकतः मृत्योर्मृत्युरितिख्यातः सविद्वानात्मवित्कविः । ज्ञानसद्भावसंस्थानः ज्ञानाग्निः ज्ञानवज्रभृत् मृत्युहन्तेतिविख्यातः महावीरो विमत्सरः ॥ viṣayapratisaṁhāraṁ yaḥ karōti vivēkataḥ mṛtyōrmṛtyuritikhyātaḥ savidvānātmavitkaviḥ | jñānasadbhāvasaṁsthānaḥ jñānāgniḥ jñānavajrabhṛt mṛtyuhantētivikhyātaḥ mahāvīrō vimatsaraḥ || One day (sometime between 1928 and 1931) Bhagavan explained the implication of this Sanskrit verse, and Muruganar recorded his explanation in verse 1030 of Guru Vācaka Kōvai, on seeing which Bhagavan composed this verse.
