अथापि कीर्तयाम्यङ्ग यथामति यथाश्रुतम् । कीर्तिं हरेः स्वां सत्कर्तुं गिरमन्याभिधासतीम् ।। ३-६-३६ ।।

sanskrit

In spite of my inability, whatever I have been able to hear [from the spiritual master] and whatever I could assimilate I am now describing in glorification of the Lord by pure speech, for otherwise my power of speaking would remain unchaste. ।। 3-6-36 ।।

english translation

अपनी असमर्थता के बावजूद मैं (अपने गुरु से) जो कुछ सुन सका हूँ तथा जितना आत्मसात् कर सका हूँ उसे अब शुद्ध वाणी द्वारा भगवान् की महिमा के वर्णन में लगा रहा हूँ, अन्यथा मेरी वाक्शक्ति अपवित्र बनी रहेगी। ।। ३-६-३६ ।।
