Translation

ହେ ବରୁଣ, ଏହା ସତ୍ୟରେ ମୋର ନିଜ ଦକ୍ଷତା (ସୁବିବେକ) ନୁହେଁ, ନ ଧ୍ରୁତି (ସ୍ଥିର ଧାରଣା); ଏହା ମଦ (ମତ୍ତତା), ଭୟକୁ ଠେଲିଦେଇଥିବା ମନ୍ୟୁ (କ୍ରୋଧ), ଏବଂ ଅଚିତ୍ତି (ଅଜ୍ଞାନ) ଅଟେ। ବୃଦ୍ଧ ମଧ୍ୟ କନିଷ୍ଠର ଅବସ୍ଥାକୁ ସରିପାରେ; ନିଦ୍ରା ମଧ୍ୟ ଅନୃତ (ଅସତ୍ୟ)ର ପ୍ରେରକ ହୋଇପାରେ—ଆମ ଭିତରେ ଇଚ୍ଛାକୁ ଋତ/ଧର୍ମରୁ ଦୂରକୁ ମୋଡ଼ିଦେଉଥିବା ଶକ୍ତିଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଅଛି।
