Verse 39

³⁹Salutation to the Endless, the vast; salutation to Krsna the ordainer; to him who is the spreading out of enumeration and of yoga; to Brahman, the supreme Self. ⁴⁰The sight of you two is hard for beings to get, and yet not hard to get, since we, whose nature is passion and darkness, have got it by chance. ⁴¹Daityas, Danavas and gandharvas, siddhas, vidyadharas and caranas, yaksas and raksasas and pisacas, and the chiefs of the spirits and the goblins, ⁴²keep their enmity fixed for ever upon you, who are plainly the home of unmixed clarity and whose body is the teaching; and we do too, and others like us. ⁴³Some have come near by an enmity held up, some by devotion, some by desire; the gods and the rest, stirred up as they are by clarity, are not brought so near.

⁴⁴That it is this, and that it is thus: even the masters of yoga do not for the most part know your yogamaya, lord of the lords of yoga. How then should we? ⁴⁵So be gracious to us. Let me come out of this blind well of a house, which is other than the thought of your lotus feet that those who want nothing seek out; and, having got my living at the feet of the world's refuge, let me walk at peace, alone, or with all as my friends. ⁴⁶Instruct us, lord of those who are ruled; make us free of wrong, master. A man who stands with trust in what you say is set loose from the command that drives him.
