गुणं ममेमं जानातु जनः पूजां करोतु मे ।
इत्यहंकारिणामीहा न तु तन्मुक्तचेतसाम् ॥ ३१ ॥

guṇaṃ mamemaṃ jānātu janaḥ pūjāṃ karotu me ,
ityahaṃkāriṇāmīhā na tu tanmuktacetasām 31

iti ahaṅkāriṇām īhā na tu tat-mukta-cetasām

iti ahaṅkāriṇām īhā tu tat-mukta-cetasām na

31. "Let people recognize this quality of mine; let them offer worship to me." Such is the desire of those driven by ego (ahaṅkāra), but not of those whose minds are freed from it.

31. הציפייה שאנשים יכירו במעלותיי ויסגדו לי היא תאווה של בעלי אגו, ולא של אלה שרוחם חופשייה מהאגו.
