so 'haṁ vasann api vibho bahu-duḥkha-vāsaṁ
garbhān na nirjigamiṣe bahir andha-kūpe
yatropayātam upasarpati deva-māyā
mithyā matir yad-anu saṁsṛti-cakram etat
O Lord! Though living in a place of suffering, I do not wish to go out of the womb to the blind well, where the Lord’s māyā pervades all those who have gone there, and give them a false identity and continual birth.
“You choose me by bhakti, but you are agitated by suffering. Because you requested to get out, now I will take you out of the womb.” “No, don’ṭ do that! I don’t what to get into a condition of suffering in the outside world!” In that place the Lord’s (deva) māyā pervades (upasarpati) all beings who have gone outside the womb (upayātam). By her, the false conception of “I am the body” (mithyā matiḥ) and repeated birth takes place.
|| 3.31.21 ||
tasmād ahaṁ vigata-viklava uddhariṣya
ātmānam āśu tamasaḥ suhṛdātmanaiva
bhūyo yathā vyasanam etad aneka-randhraṁ
mā me bhaviṣyad upasādita-viṣṇu-pādaḥ
Therefore, having destroyed suffering here, I will deliver myself quickly from saṁsāra by my friend the intelligence, given by you, so that I, having surrendered to your lotus feet, will not again have the misfortune of a material body.
“So, what have you decided?” Even in the womb, I have given up suffering. I will deliver myself from saṁsāra (tamasaḥ) by my friend intelligence, the chariot driver, which has been given by you, so that I will not in the future have the misfortune of again having a body of nine gates (aneka-randhram). Where will you get the ingredients for this practice? I have taken shelter (upasādita) of your lotus feet with remembering and chanting.
