बालो लीलामिव त्यक्तशङ्कं संसारसंस्थितिम् ।
यावद्देहमिमां साधो पालयाम्यमलैकदृक् ॥ २९ ॥

bālo līlāmiva tyaktaśaṅkaṃ saṃsārasaṃsthitim |
yāvaddehamimāṃ sādho pālayāmyamalaikadṛk || 29 ||

I cannot be averse, to manage myself with the trifles of this world, as long as I am destined to them; in the same manner as boys are never to be blamed, for indulging themselves in their playthings in their boyhood. So long sir, as I shall have to live in this body of mine, I must do my bodily acts, with my mind fixed in the sole One only.
