ya etad ādāv asṛjac carācaraṃ sva-māyayātmāśrayayāvitarkyayā /
tayaiva so 'yaṃ kila goptum udyataḥ kathaṃ nu māṃ dharma-paro jighāṃsati //

31. He who in the beginning created all this universe of mobile and immobile objects by means of his Māyā resting upon (investing) Jīvas and possessed of incomprehensible powers—He Himself art thou, and associated with the same Māyā thou hast come to protect the world, and how wouldst thou intent upon promoting righteousness strike me down.
