29. "What a painful thing it is! fallen am I from the path of the wise; for I had rescued myself from all attachment and sought shelter in the secluded and hallowed woods, controlled the mind and set it on the glorious Vasudeva, who is the Atman (self) of all beings, for a long time, every hour of which was not void, as I was listening to the accounts of the Almighty Lord, holding logical examination of, and pondering over, what is heard, singing His praises, worshipping Him and constantly remembering Him; that heart of my foolish self in a moment was made to incline towards the young deer (Lit. flowed over towards) even from a distance.
