Adhyaya 24 — Kuvalayashva’s Refusal of Gifts and the Vision of Madalasa’s Maya
कृतकृत्योऽस्मि चैतेन सफलं जीवितञ्च मे ।
यदङ्गसंस्लेषमितस्तव देवस्य मानुषः ॥
kṛtakṛtyo 'smi caitena saphalaṃ jīvitañ ca me / yad aṅga-saṃśleṣam itaḥ tava devasya mānuṣaḥ
ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਮੈਂ ਜੋ ਕਰਨਾ ਸੀ ਉਹ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ, ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਜੀਵਨ ਵੀ ਸਫਲ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ—ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਵੀ, ਹੇ ਦੇਵੀ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਦੇਹ-ਸਪਰਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕੀਤਾ।
