28. The Sadasyas said:—O Lord, the asylum (of all), the ignorant crowd that has fallen down to the path of births (Saṃsāra), destitute of any shelter, (the path which is) hard to tread on account of great privations; which is always under the eye of the fierce serpent of Yama (Death), which is bewildering owing to the mirage of the objects of sense and is full of the pitfalls of pleasure and pain (and other pairs of opposite feelings) and which is fearful on account of the wicked who are like wild beasts, as also on account of the wild fire of grief—when will this crowd (oppressed by) the heavy load of their body and domestic life and harassed by Desires (passions) resort to Thy feet for shelter?
