बाह्यादाभ्यंतरं श्रेष्ठं भवेच्छतगुणाधिकम् ॥ असंकरत्वाद्दोषाणां दृष्टानामप्यसम्भवात् ॥ ५६ ॥
The internal worship is hundred times more excellent than the external one in view of the absence of flaws seen and their intermixture avoided.
english translation
शौचमाभ्यंतरं विद्यान्न बाह्यं शौचमुच्यते ॥ अंतः शौचविमुक्तात्मा शुचिरप्यशुचिर्यतः ॥ ५७ ॥
Purity too is the internal one. External purity is not enough. A man though physically pure is not pure if he is devoid of inner purity.
english translation
बाह्यमाभ्यंर्तरं चैव भजनं भवपूर्वकम् ॥ न भावरहितं देवि विप्रलंभैककारणम् ॥ ५८ ॥
O gentle lady, the adorative service whether external or internal shall be attended with devotion. If devoid of devotion, it is the cause of deceit.
english translation
कृतकृत्यस्य पूतस्य मम किं क्रियते नरैः ॥ बहिर्वाभ्यंतरं वाथ मया भावो हि गृह्यते ॥ ५९ ॥
I am content and pure. What shall be done unto me by men? Externally or internally only devotion is taken into consideration by me.
english translation
भावैकात्मा क्रिया देवि मम धर्मस्सनातनः ॥ मनसा कर्मणा वाचा ह्यनपेक्ष्य फलं क्वचित् ॥ ६० ॥
That activity the soul of which is devotion, O gentle lady, is my eternal Dharma. It shall be performed without yearning for the fruit thereof mentally, verbally and physically.
