43.Sathvani nadha vivithaan yabhishank jigkrosha,
samsara natya rasikasya thvasthu thriptayai!
Pratyek parangmukha matherasmeekshya karth,
pracheena sajjana vidampana bhoomika me'!

Meaning: O Swamy .you derive great pleasure by initiating ad watching the performance all living beings in this drama called life!

I have ignored my atma.I have not introspected deeply but appear outwardly as pious and as knowledgeable as seers of yore!

This disguise and role that i have donned must be entertaining you immensly!
