जीवन्ति सन्मुखरितां भवदीयवार्ताम् |

स्थाने स्थिताह्̣ श्रुतिगतां तनुवाङ्मनोभिर्

ये प्रायशोऽजित जितोऽप्य् असि तैस् त्रिलोक्याम् || ३ ||

3. "Those who give up the path of knowledge (jñāne prayāsam udapāsya) and simple bow to You (namantaḥ eva), spending their lives hearing about You from the lips of saints (jīvanti sat-mukharitām bhavadīya-vārtām), in whatever condition they are (sthāne sthitāḥ), meditate on what they heard with their body, speech, and mind (śruti-gatām tanu vāk manobhiḥ ye prāyaśaḥ)-- Oh Unconquerable One (ajita), You are conquered by them in the three worlds (jitaḥ api asi taiḥ  tri-lokyām).

क्लिश्यन्ति ये केवलबोधलब्धये |

तेस्̣आम् असौ क्लेशल एव शिस्̣यते

नान्यद् यथा स्थूलतुस्̣आवघातिनाम् || ४ ||

4. "There are some who reject the auspicious path of bhakti (śreyaḥ sṛtim bhaktim udasya). They struggle to know You, Oh Lord, with their minds alone (te vibho kliśyanti ye kevala bodha). The only thing they achieve is that struggle (labdhaye teṣām asau kleśalaḥ eva) and nothing more (na anyat). It is just like beating empty husks (yathā sthūla-tuṣa avaghātinām)."

त्वदर्पितेहा निजकर्मलब्धया |

विबुध्य भक्त्यैव कथोपनीतया

प्रपेदिरेऽञ्जोऽच्युत ते गतिम्́ पराम् || ५ ||

5. "In the past, O Infinite One (purā iha bhūman), many yogis (bahavaḥ api yoginaḥ) offered whatever they did to You (tvat arpita īhāḥ nija-karma), and through bhakti cultivated by hearing about You (labdhayā vibudhya bhaktyā eva kathā-upanītayā), easily surrendered to You, Oh Infalliable One (prapedire añjaḥ acyuta) and attained You, the supreme goal (te gatim parām)."
