Translation
Like the all-seeing sun, you wander throughout the three worlds, and like the vital life current, you enter within all living beings as a witness of the faculty of intellection. Therefore, please comprehensively determine the defect in me, who am deeply immersed in the transcendent Brahman, by mastery of the highest yoga-dharma, and intellectually grounded in the descendent Brahman [the Vedas], by study and religious vows.
