Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)
।।15.4।।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 Tejomayananda (Hindi)

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 Gambirananda (English)
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 Sivananda (English)
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.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
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.
