Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya

।।4.39।। श्रद्धावान् श्रद्धालुः लभते ज्ञानम्। श्रद्धालुत्वेऽपि भवति कश्चित् मन्दप्रस्थानः अत आह तत्परः गुरूपासदनादौ अभियुक्तः ज्ञानलब्ध्युपाये श्रद्धावान्। तत्परः अपि अजितेन्द्रियः स्यात् इत्यतः आह संयतेन्द्रियः संयतानि विषयेभ्यो निवर्तितानि यस्य इन्द्रियाणि स संयतेन्द्रियः। य एवंभूतः श्रद्धावान् तत्परः संयतेन्द्रियश्च सः अवश्यं ज्ञानं लभते। प्रणिपातादिस्तु बाह्योऽनैकान्तिकोऽपि भवति मायावित्वादिसंभवात् न तु तत् श्रद्धावत्त्वादौ इत्येकान्ततः ज्ञानलब्ध्युपायः। किं पुनः ज्ञानलाभात् स्यात् इत्युच्यते ज्ञानं लब्ध्वा परं मोक्षाख्यां शान्तिम् उपरतिम् अचिरेण क्षिप्रमेव अधिगच्छति। सम्यग्दर्शनात् क्षिप्रमेव मोक्षो भवतीति सर्वशास्त्रन्यायप्रसिद्धः सुनिश्चितः अर्थः।।अत्र संशयः न कर्तव्यः पापिष्ठो हि संशयः कथम् इति उच्यते

।।4.39।।जिसके द्वारा निश्चय ही ज्ञानकी प्राप्ति हो जाती है वह उपाय बतलाया जाता है श्रद्धावान् श्रद्धालु मनुष्य ज्ञान प्राप्त किया करता है। श्रद्धालु होकर भी तो कोई मन्द प्रयत्नवाला हो सकता है इसलिये कहते हैं कि तत्पर अर्थात् ज्ञानप्राप्तिके गुरुशुश्रूषादि उपायोंमें जो अच्छी प्रकार लगा हुआ हो। श्रद्धावान् और तत्पर होकर भी कोई अजितेन्द्रिय हो सकता है इसलिये कहते हैं कि संयतेन्द्रिय भी होनाचाहिये। जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ वशमें की हुई हों यानी विषयोंसे निवृत्त कर ली गयी हों वह संयतेन्द्रिय कहलाता है। जो इस प्रकार श्रद्धावान् तत्पर और संयतेन्द्रिय भी होता है वह अवश्य ही ज्ञानको प्राप्त कर लेता है। जो दण्डवत्प्रणामादि उपाय हैं वे तो बाह्य हैं और कपटी मनुष्यद्वारा भी किये जा सकते हैं इसलिये वे ( ज्ञानरूप फल उत्पन्न करनेमें ) अनिश्चित भी हो सकते हैं। परंतु श्रद्धालुता आदि उपायोंमें कपट नहीं चल सकता इसलिये ये निश्चयरूपसे ज्ञानप्राप्तिके उपाय हैं। ज्ञानप्राप्तिसे क्या होगा सो ( उत्तरार्धमें ) कहते हैं ज्ञानको प्राप्त होकर मनुष्य मोक्षरूप परम शान्तिको यानी उपरामताको बहुत शीघ्रतत्काल ही प्राप्त हो जाता है। यथार्थ ज्ञानसे तुरंत ही मोक्ष हो जाता है यह सब शास्त्रों और युक्तियोंसे सिद्ध सुनिश्चित बात है।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

4.39 He who has faith, who is intent on it, and who has mastered his senses, attains knowledge. Having attained knowledge, he goes soon to supreme peace.

English Translation By Swami Sivananda

4.39 The man who is full of faith, who is devoted to it, and who has subdued the senses obtains (this) knowledge; and having obtained the knowledge he attains at once to the supreme peace.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

4.39 Sraddhavan, the man who has faith; labhate, attains; jnanam, Knowledge. Even when one has faith, he may be indolent. Therefore the Lord says, tatparah, who is diligent, steadfast in the service of the teacher, etc., which are the means of attaining Knowledge. Even when one has faith and is diligent, one may not have control over the organs. Hence the Lord says, samyata-indriyah, who has control over the organs-he whose organs (indriyani) have been withdrawn (samyata) from objects. He who is such, who is full of faith, diligent, and has control over the organs, does surely attain Knowledge. However, prostrations etc., which are external, are not invariably fruitful, for there is scope for dissimulation faith etc. But this is not so in the case of one possessing faith etc. Hence they are the unfailing means of acquiring Knowledge. What, again, will result from gaining Knowledge? This is being answered: Labdhva, achieving; jnanam, Knowledge; adhigacchati, one attains; acirena, soon indeed; param, supreme; santim, Peace, supreme detachment called Liberation. That Liberation soon follows from full Knowledge is a fact well ascertained from all the scriptures and reasoning. One should not entertain any doubt in this matter. For doubt is the most vicious thing. Why? The answer is being stated:

English Translation By By Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

4.39. He, who has faith, gains knowledge, if he is solely intending upon it and has his sense-organs well-controlled; having gained the knowledge, he attains, before long, the Peace Supreme.

English Translation by Shri Purohit Swami

4.39 He who is full of faith attains wisdom, and he too who can control his senses, having attained that wisdom, he shall ere long attain Supreme Peace.
