Shri Purohit Swami

हे भरतवंशमें उत्पन्न परंतप ! इच्छा (राग) और द्वेषसे उत्पन्न होनेवाले द्वन्द्व-मोहसे मोहित सम्पूर्ण प्राणी संसारमें मूढ़ताको अर्थात् जन्म-मरणको प्राप्त हो रहे हैं।

हे परन्तप भारत ! इच्छा और द्वेष से उत्पन्न द्वन्द्वमोह से भूतमात्र उत्पत्ति काल में ही संमोह (अविवेक) को प्राप्त होते हैं।
