8.22.17

yayā hi vidvān api muhyate yatas tat ko vicaṣṭe gatimātmano yathā /
tasmai namaste jagadīśvarāya vai nārāyaṇāyākhilalokasākṣiṇe //

17. "Though well under self-control and learned, man is deluded by his (wealth and power); and in that condition who could perceive the course beneficial to Atman (the course leading to

Atman)? I therefore bow to Thee, most merciful Lord of the Universe, who is Sri Narayana, the one witness of all the worlds.”
