Verse 65.61
सच त्वम् ईश्वरो अस्या न मे याचेसि प्रांजलि ।
सुसमृद्धापि या जातिः हीनोत्कृष्टा च मध्यमा ।
तां नाहं अभिनन्दामि अनपेक्षो स्मि ते पि हि ॥ ६१ ॥
saca tvam īśvaro asyā na me yācesi prāṃjali |
susamṛddhāpi yā jātiḥ hīnotkṛṣṭā ca madhyamā |
tāṃ nāhaṃ abhinandāmi anapekṣo smi te pi hi || 61 ||
“If thou wert lord thou wouldst not supplicate me with joined hands raised. I have no delight in prosperous birth, whether it be low, high or mean. I am indifferent to thee. (61)
