निरयेष्वपि भोगः स्याच्छ्वसूकरतनावपि ॥ ४८ ॥
== (THAT) ENJOYMENT (THAT YOU FIND IN WIFE, SONS, HOUSES) MAY ALSO EXIST IN HELLS/MISERIES, IN THE BODY OF A DOG OR A PIG EVEN.

सूकर m.

सूकर m. (prob. fr. sū-+ kara-,making the sound sū-; confer, compare śū-kara-etc.; according to to others fr. 3. sū-and connected with Latin su1-culus, sū-cula-) a boar, hog, pig, swine (in fine compositi or ‘at the end of a compound’ f(ā-).; daṃṣṭrā sūkarasya-,prob.”a particular plant”) etc.

वर्ष m.
वर्ष m. NORMALLY MEANS ‘rain’ OR ‘rainy season’ (==’year’),
BUT NOT HERE. INSTEAD, HERE IT MEANS…
A WATERSHED SEPARATED BY CONTINENTAL DIVIDES
\
वर्ष m. a division of the earth as separated off by certain mountain ranges (9 such divisions are enumerated, viz. kuru-, hiraṇmaya-, ramyaka-, ilāvṛta-, hari-; ketu– mālā-, bhadrāśva-, kiṃnara-, and bhārata-;sometimes the number given is 7)
\
वर्ष m. India (equals bhāratavarṣa-and jambu-dvīpa-)
\
SO THE BASIC IDEA HERE IS THAT OF AN AREA OF LAND IN WHICH ALL THE RAIN THAT FALLS GOES IN THE SAME DIRECTION - TOWARD THE CENTER. SO THE REGION OF THE USA DRAINED BY THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ITS TRIBUTARIES, THE REGION BETWEEN THE WESTERN AND EASTERN CONTINENTAL DIVIDES, WOULD BE A वर्ष m.
SAME THING WITH THE HEARTLAND OF INDIA BETWEEN THE EASTERN AND WESTERN GHATS (?)

आत्मसात्कृत्वा ?????
आत्मसात्कृत्वा ????? NO. EMEND TO आत्मसत्कृत्वा, THUS…
को विद्वानात्मसत्कृत्वा देहं भोगानुगो भवेत् ।
== ‘What wise man, having set right his body with his soul, would become a follower of pleasures?’
\
√सत्कृ P. A1. -karoti-, -kurute- etc., to set right, put in order, arrange, prepare, adorn, garnish etc. ; to treat well or with respect, honour, treat or receive hospitably etc. ; to pay the last honours to (accusative), cremate : Causal -kārayati-, to cause to be treated with respect or reverence, show reverence, pay respect ; to cause to pay the last honours
IGNORE THE FOLLOWING…
\
आत्मसात्कृत्वा ?????
SEEMS TO BE TAKING देहं AS D.O. ALTHOUGH IT IS A CPD VERB WITH A SIMPLEX GD ENDING -
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE “VERB” HERE WOULD MEAN. THE LONG -A- IN -SAT- IS WEIRD.
IF IT IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN ‘having shown self-respect’, THEN MAYBE EMEND
देहं भोगानुगो
TO
देहभोगानुगो

नो चेद्गमिष्यसेऽधोऽधः पुनरावृत्तिवर्जितः । ?????
MAYBE IGNORE THE PART BELOW. THIS MAKES SENSE IF YOU TAKE पुनरावृत्ति TO MEAN *NOT ‘rebirth’ PER SE BUT RATHER ‘rebirth as a Brahman in India, etc.’ - ALL OF THE KARMIC ADVANTAGES THAT RAVANA HAS AND THAT WERE JUST LISTED ABOVE. I THINK THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM.
MAYBE IGNORE THIS. SEE ABOVE.
नो चेद्गमिष्यसेऽधोऽधः पुनरावृत्तिवर्जितः । ?????
THIS MAKES NO SENSE. LITERALLY IT SAYS,
“If not, you will go down and down DEPRIVED OF re-birth” - WHICH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE SAYING HERE.
THE (transl.) KNOWS IT MAKES NO SENSE, SO THEY FUDGE:
“If you do not do this, you will degenerate into lower and lower embodiments and be caught in the cycle of repeated births and deaths {THIS IS THE MEANING REQUIRED HERE ALTHOUGH IT IS NOWEHRE IN THE TEXT] and will be devoid of any scope for regeneration [THIS IS A PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO REHABILITATE पुनरावृत्तिवर्जितः ]’
