अनुत्तमानन्दपदप्रधानविश्रान्तिरिक्तं सततं महात्मन् ।
कदर्थयन्तीह भृशं विकल्पाः श्वानो वने देहमिवाल्पजीवम् ॥ २७ ॥

anuttamānandapadapradhānaviśrāntiriktaṃ satataṃ mahātman |
kadarthayantīha bhṛśaṃ vikalpāḥ śvāno vane dehamivālpajīvam || 27 ||

My mind is devoid of that tranquility which results chiefly from holy happiness, and is perplexed with endless doubts, that disturb my peace as the dogs molest smaller animals in the desert.
