कर्माण्यनीहस्य भवोऽभवस्य ते दुर्गाश्रयोऽथारिभयात्पलायनम् । कालात्मनो यत्प्रमदायुताश्रमः स्वात्मन् रतेः खिद्यति धीर्विदामिह ।। ३-४-१६ ।।

sanskrit

My Lord, even the learned sages become disturbed in their intelligence when they see that Your Greatness engages in fruitive work although You are free from all desires, that You take birth although You are unborn, that You flee out of fear of the enemy and take shelter in a fort although You are the controller of invincible time, and that You enjoy householder life surrounded by many women although You enjoy in Your Self. ।। 3-4-16 ।।

मन्त्रेषु मां वा उपहूय यत्त्वमकुण्ठिताखण्डसदात्मबोधः । पृच्छेः प्रभो मुग्द्ध इवाप्रमत्तः तन्नो मनो मोहयतीव देव ।। ३-४-१७ ।।

sanskrit

O my Lord, Your eternal Self is never divided by the influence of time, and there is no limitation to Your perfect knowledge. Thus You were sufficiently able to consult with Yourself, yet You called upon me for consultation, as if bewildered, although You are never bewildered. And this act of Yours bewilders me. ।। 3-4-17 ।।
