kim — what; etayā — by her; naḥ — to us; apakṛtam — offense has been done; rajjvā — by a rope; vā — or; sarpa-cetasaḥ — who is thinking it to be a snake; draṣṭuḥ — of such a seer; svarūpa — the real identity; aviduṣaḥ — who does not understand; yaḥ — who; aham — I; yat — because of; ajita-indriyaḥ — having not controlled the senses.
Translation
How can I blame her for my trouble when I myself am ignorant of my real, spiritual nature? I did not control my senses, and so I am like a person who mistakenly sees a harmless rope as a snake.
