Verse 29

²⁴Bhagavan, you are the overseer of all beings, and you are settled in the cave of the heart. With a knowing that nothing can check, you already know what I mean to do. ²⁵Even so, master, grant to me who ask it the thing I ask: that I may know your two forms, the higher and the lower, though you have no form at all; ²⁶and how, by the working of your own maya, swelled out with your many powers, you tear down and send forth and take in again, carrying yourself by yourself; ²⁷and how you play, you whose resolve never fails, as the spider spins its web. Madhava, set in me an understanding that reaches to all of that. ²⁸Let me do what the Bhagavan has taught me, and do it without slackening, so that by your grace I may not be bound while I labour at the sending forth of creatures.

²⁹Lord, in so far as you have made me a friend to a friend, I shall portion out the people in the sending forth of creatures. Standing steady and untroubled at your work, let no swollen pride rise in me, thinking myself unborn.
