32Still, for one as unlucky as I am, the sight of those best of the gods must come of something auspicious, by which my self grows clear. 33How else would the tongue of a dying man, unclean, the husband of a low woman, be fit to utter here the name of him whom nothing hinders? 34Where am I, a cheat, a wrongdoer, a killer of the sacred learning, without shame? And where is that auspicious name of the Bhagavan, Narayana? 35So I shall strive, holding my mind and my senses and my breath, that I may never sink myself in the blind dark again. 36Loosing myself from this bond born of ignorance and desire and action, a friend to every being, at peace, kindly, full of pity, keeping hold of myself,
37I shall free the self that has been swallowed by the self's own maya in the shape of a woman, by whom I was played with like a tame beast, worthless as I am. 38Letting go of the thought that says mine and I of the body and the rest, my understanding now on what is real, I shall set my mind, made clean by singing of him and the like, on the Bhagavan.
