Verse 10

⁷Uddhava, the threefold change that takes hold in you is maya falling in between; it is not there at the beginning nor at the release. Since birth and the rest belong to this body, what should they be to you? A thing that is not there at the beginning and the end is just that in the middle too. ⁸Tell out this knowledge, clear and wide, the ancient teaching, joined to detachment and full knowing; and the yoga of devotion to you, which the great go searching for, lord of the world, whose form is the world. ⁹For one struck by the three burnings and scorched on the dread road of becoming, Lord, I see no shelter but the parasol of your two feet, which rains down the deathless.

¹⁰This man has fallen into this hole and been bitten by the snake of time, with a huge thirst on him for small pleasures. Lift him out in pity, great one, and pour over him words that carry him to release.
