विषदष्टविवेकस्य कीनाशस्य गलत्स्मृतेः ।
विक्रीतस्येव दीनस्य मग्नस्येवान्धकूपके ॥ २७ ॥

viṣadaṣṭavivekasya kīnāśasya galatsmṛteḥ |
vikrītasyeva dīnasya magnasyevāndhakūpake || 27 ||

I remained there as insensible as one bitten by a snake, and as a dead body that has lost its past remembrance. (Sleep and death are akin to each other—hypnos kai thanatos didumo adelpho). I was as impotent as a sold slave; and as helpless as one fallen in a dark ditch or blind pit. Bought slaves krita-dasas and their loss of liberty, were in vogue from the earliest times in India.
