यथा विचित्रव्यसनाद् भवद्भिर्विश्वतोभयात् । मुच्येम ह्यञ्जसैवाद्धा तथा न: शाधि सुव्रत ॥ ९ ॥

အမြဲတမ်း သစ္စာရှိသော သခင်ရေ၊ ကျေးဇူးပြု၍ ရှင်းလင်းစွာ သင်ကြားပေးပါ။ သင်၏ကရုဏာကြောင့် အန္တရာယ်မျိုးစုံနှင့် ပြည့်နှက်ပြီး အမြဲကြောက်ရွံ့မှုဖြင့် ချည်နှောင်ထားသော သံသရာမှ ကျွန်ုပ် လွယ်ကူစွာ လွတ်မြောက်နိုင်ပါစေ။
The word mucyema is significant here. In the previous verse Vasudeva stated that because he had been bewildered by the illusory energy of the Lord he could not achieve from the Supreme Personality of Godhead the boon of liberation. Therefore he is now approaching the pure devotee of the Lord, confident that by the mercy of the Lord’s devotee he will certainly achieve liberation from material bondage.
