prāyeṇa deva munayaḥ sva-vimukti-kāmā
maunaṁ caranti vijane na parārtha-niṣṭhāḥ

O Lord! Generally the sages, desiring their own liberation, practice silence and live alone, not interested in others’ welfare. Rejecting those misery sages, I do not desire liberation all alone. I do not see any shelter other than you for those wandering blindly in this world
“Please accept liberation. The sages with knowledge will teach you the process of liberation.” The sages act for liberation but I do not want to be like that. I do not desire liberation. Other than you, I do not see anyone as a shelter

yan maithunādi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tucchaṁ
kaṇḍūyanena karayor iva duḥkha-duḥkham
tṛpyanti neha kṛpaṇā bahu-duḥkha-bhājaḥ
kaṇḍūtivan manasijaṁ viṣaheta dhīraḥ
The insignificant happiness of household life and sex life is like the increased suffering created by rubbing itchy hands together. Though they experience great suffering, the lusty fools still cannot see that there is no satisfaction in household life. The wise man however tolerates the lust, which is actually suffering.
“The people will be happy by enjoying women, and in that way become free of misery.” But rubbing the hands together to relieve itching causes the suffering to increase. “Then they should become disgusted and become liberated.” Though these lusty people (kṛpaṇaḥ) receive plenty of suffering, they do not think that it is impossible to be satisfied with the happiness household life (iha), which is another form of suffering. “But one sees that some of them become disgusted.” That is true. A person who becomes wise by your mercy tolerates the lust born of the mind, which is suffering itself.
