4.22.39

tadvan na rikta-matayo yatayo 'pi ruddha- % sroto-gaṇās tam araṇaṃ bhaja vāsudevam //

not in like manner can ascetics whose minds are empty, though they have blocked / the torrent of the senses. Worship Him, Vāsudeva, as your refuge!

4.22.39.p2

kṛcchro mahān iha bhavārṇavam aplaveśāṃ $ ṣaḍ-varga-nakram asukhena titīrṣanti &

Great and painful here is the ocean of worldly existence for those without a boat;
with hardship do they attempt to cross it, infested by the crocodiles of the six faculties.

40. Great is the difficulty here (in crossing the sea of Samsara) for those who have not found the Lord for their boat; for indeed by painful means (i. e., by means of yoga and other efforts) they hope to cross the Samsara which abounds in the alligators of six fold passions; therefore do thou make thy boat the worshipful feet of the glorious Lord and cross over the impassable sea of misery.
