Then, that goal should be sought for, to which, having gone, none returns again. I seek refuge in that Primeval Purusha, from whence streamed forth the ancient activity or energy.

Swami Sivananda

Thereafter, that state must be sought, going where they do not return again: I take refuge in that Primeval Person Himself, from whom the eternal Manifestation has ensued.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

Then, one should seek that goal, attaining which one never returns. One should seek refuge with that Primal Person from whom this ancient activity streamed forth.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

Then, that Abode must be sought, having reached which one would not return. The Yogin would attain nothing but that Primal Person, from Whom the old activity (world creation) commences.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

Beyond lies the path, from which, once found, there is no return. This is the Primal God from whom this ancient creation has sprung.

Shri Purohit Swami

उसके बाद उस परमपद-(परमात्मा-) की खोज करनी चाहिये जिसको प्राप्त होनेपर मनुष्य फिर लौटकर संसारमें नहीं आते और जिससे अनादिकालसे चली आनेवाली यह सृष्टि विस्तारको प्राप्त हुई है, उस आदिपुरुष परमात्माके ही मैं शरण हूँ।

Swami Ramsukhdas

(तदुपरान्त) उस पद का अन्वेषण करना चाहिए जिसको प्राप्त हुए पुरुष पुन: संसार में नहीं लौटते हैं। "मैं उस आदि पुरुष की शरण हूँ, जिससे यह पुरातन प्रवृत्ति प्रसृत हुई है"।
