109. Obeisance to that young celibate, to whom the whole world, having been renounced without being enjoyed, is curiously, a remnant (of his past enjoyments).
प्रकिशनोऽहमित्यास्स्व त्रैलोक्याधिपतिर्भवः। योगिगम्यं तव प्रोक्तं रहस्यं परमात्मनः ॥११॥
110. Live in a way as though (you felt), “Nothing is mine" and thou wilt be lord over the three worlds. The essence of divinity, as realised by the saints, is told thee (herein.) दुर्लभमशुद्धमपसुखमविदितमृतिसमयमल्पपरमायुः। मानुष्यमिहैव तपो मुक्तिस्तपसैव तत्तपः कार्यम् ॥१११॥
111. It is difficult to obtain this human life, which is impure, and void of happiness, the death time of which is not known, and which is of very short duration.

112. The one to be propitiated is the Lord, the preceptor of the three worlds. The course of life is to be one applauded by the good. The only trouble is to remember the conduct of that (Lord). The only loss is the wasting away of Karmas. The goal to be achieved is the bliss of Liberation. The Time (required) is limited. Mind only is to be controlled. Let the wise think rightly in their mind, what difficulty is there in realization of the
self..
