Translation

Therefore, my Lord, although I am living in a terrible condition, I do not wish to depart from my mother’s abdomen to fall again into the blind well of materialistic life. Your external energy, called deva-māyā, at once captures the newly born child, and immediately false identification, which is the beginning of the cycle of continual birth and death, begins.

हिन्दी भावार्थ

भगवन्! इस अत्यन्त दु:खसे भरे हुए गर्भाशयमें यद्यपि मैं बड़े कष्टसे रह रहा हूँ, तो भी इससे बाहर निकलकर संसारमय अन्धकूपमें गिरनेकी मुझे बिलकुल इच्छा नहीं है; क्योंकि उसमें जानेवाले जीवको आपकी माया घेर लेती है। जिसके कारण उसकी शरीरमें अहंबुद्धि हो जाती है और उसके परिणाममें उसे फिर इस संसारचक्रमें ही पड़ना होता है॥ २०॥
