अक्षया नरशार्दूल मया लोका जिताः शुभाः।
ब्राह्म्याश्च नाकपृष्ट्याश्च प्रतिगृह्णीष्व मामकान्॥
akṣayā nara-śārdūla mayā lokā jitāḥ śubhāḥ
brāhmyāś ca nāka-pṛṣṭhyāś ca pratigṛhṇīṣva māmakān
akṣayāḥ = the long-lasting; nara-śārdūla = O Prince; mayā = that I have; lokāḥ = worlds of enjoyment; jitāḥ = earned; śubhāḥ = and auspicious; brāhmyāḥ ca = in Brahmaloka; nāka-pṛṣṭhyāḥ = Svargaloka; ca = and; pratigṛhṇīṣva = please accept; māmakān = everything that is mine.
O Prince, please accept everything that is mine: the long-lasting and auspicious worlds of enjoyment in Brahmaloka and Svargaloka that I have earned.
1 When we engage in pious activities, we attain certain pious credits that are generally referred to as puṇya. Śarabhaṅga had accumulated so much of puṇya that he could stay in Svargaloka and Brahmaloka, which he didn’t want. Then why do sages like him engage in these pious activities? Simply to show the world how one should function in the material world. Pariniṣṭhitas engage in activities within the varṇāśrama scheme for others’ welfare.
It is implied here that the sage offered all of the pious credits accumulated by him [to Lord Rāma].
Offering [pious] activities unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead means to abandon one’s attachment to the [material] results [that can be attained by performing those pious activities], to abandon one’s proprietorship [over those results] and perform them as a menial service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.1
NOTE. Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa has commented on Bhagavad-gītā 18.46 as follows:
yataḥ parameśvarād bhūtānāṁ janmādi-lakṣaṇā pravṛttir bhavati yena cedaṁ sarvaṁ jagat taṁ vyāptaṁ tam indrādi-devatātmanāvasthitaṁ sva-vihitena karmaṇābhyarcya
etena karmaṇā sva-prabhus tuṣyatu iti manasā tasmiṁs tat samarpya mānavaḥ siddhiṁ jñāna-niṣṭhāṁ vindati.
“Worship of the Supreme Lord, who causes the creation and so on of the living creatures, who pervades the entire world and who is the Supersoul of Indra and other demigods, through activities [of the varṇāśrama system] specifically prescribed for him means offering these activities unto Him in one’s mind with the thought, ‘May my Lord be pleased with this activity.’ By doing this, a man attains perfection, that is, the platform of knowledge.”
