The perfect disciple, having duly reached the master's feet, expresses his own despairing fears that he will never be able to grow, himself out of the disturbing conceptions of 'time' and 'place which provide for the individual experiences the unending sorrows of finitude. Things change in their relationship with both time and place.' Objects remaining the same, they, with reference to different sets of 'time and place', come to react upon the same individual differently. These pluralistic experiences produce agitations in the mind which, in their totality, is the conception that is indicated here* by the word Samsāra Dukha. The student reached the master despairingly requesting him, "condescend to save me, O! Lord! and describe in full length how to put an end to the misery of this relative existence".
* Please refer stanza 40 wherein the disciple expressed
agitations in the language of his own fears and despairs.
