Translation

Śrīmatī Vindhyāvali said: O my Lord, You have created the entire universe for the enjoyment of Your personal pastimes, but foolish, unintelligent men have claimed proprietorship for material enjoyment. Certainly they are shameless agnostics. Falsely claiming proprietorship, they think they can give charity and enjoy. In such a condition, what good can they do for You, who are the independent creator, maintainer and annihilator of this universe?

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

विन्ध्यावलीने कहा— प्रभो! आपने अपनी क्रीडाके लिये ही इस सम्पूर्ण जगत‍्की रचना की है। जो लोग कुबुद्धि हैं, वे ही अपनेको इसका स्वामी मानते हैं। जब आप ही इसके कर्ता, भर्ता और संहर्ता हैं, तब आपकी मायासे मोहित होकर अपनेको झूठमूठ कर्ता माननेवाले निर्लज्ज आपको समर्पण क्या करेंगे?॥ २०॥
