4.20.31

tvan-māyayāddhā jana īśa khaṇḍito yad anyad āśāsta ṛtātmano 'budhaḥ /
yathā cared bāla-hitaṃ pitā svayaṃ tathā tvam evārhasi naḥ samīhitum //

31. O Supreme Ruler, by Thy Maya indeed, creatures are separate and rendered finite (limited in understanding) and though wise, they entertain desires for things from Thee whose essence is truth and wisdom; just as a father works for the good of his child, so be Thou pleased of Thine own accord to do what is good to us.
