28. Sindhu will say: 'Why was this Sarasvatī (divine wisdom) not sought by this one (Rama)? And why was pure consciousness not sought by me here for liberation (mokṣa)?'

30. The minister will speak: “O slayer of foes, your past practice (abhyāsa) is inauspicious. Therefore, O Lord (vibhu), this [true path to liberation] was not sought by you for liberation (mokṣa), even after offering obeisance.”
30. השר יאמר: הו מלך, ההרגלים הלא-טהורים מגלגוליך הקודמים עדיין משפיעים עליך; לכן לא פנית אליה בהכנעה כדי לבקש שחרור.

31. ājagatsthiteḥ yat cittaḥ jantuḥ tat mayaḥ bhavati iti
anyathā kaḥ ābālam eva saṃsiddham kartum śaknoti 31
31. A living being becomes that with which its mind (citta) is imbued; this is an eternal truth until the world’s end. Otherwise, who could accomplish perfection (saṃsiddha) right from childhood?
31. מה שהחשיבה ממוקדת בו, זה מה שהאדם הופך להיות - זהו חוק טבע קבוע מאז ראשית היקום, הידוע אפילו לילד. מי יכול לשנות זאת?

32. amalātman aṅga yena amalayā antaḥ vidan abhyāsamayam yat eva saṃvedyate,
sarvopamardena tat eva sat vā asat astu avighnam bhavati 32
32. O pure-souled one (ātman)! Whatever is inwardly perceived by one’s pure [intellect] as consisting of practice (abhyāsa), that alone, O dear one, whether it be existent or non-existent, becomes unobstructed by the complete suppression of everything else.
32. מה שאדם חווה עמוק בפנים מתוך תרגול מתמיד והרגל, הו נשמה טהורה, בין אם הוא אמיתי ובין אם אינו אמיתי, יתממש במוקדם או במאוחר ללא שום מכשול, כשהוא דוחק את כל השאר.
