prarudan śoka-vegena mohaṃ prāpyāpataṃ kṣaṇāt || 100 ||vicāra-jātataḥ–by thinking; svasya–of myself; sambhāvya–considering; tat-ayogyatām–being unsuitable for that; prarudan–weeping severely; śoka–of lamentation; vegena–by the power; moham prāpya–I fainted; apatam–I collapsed; kṣaṇāt–instantly.
But thinking about it, I concluded I was unfit to reside in Vaikuṇṭha. Overwhelmed by severe grief, I fell to the ground unconscious.
