GENESIS OF THE BHAGAVATA
 
कृतवान् भारतं यस्त्वं सर्वार्थपरिबृंहितम् ।
जिज्ञासितमधीतं च ब्रह्म यत्तत्सनातनम् ।
अथापि शोचस्यात्मानमकृतार्थ इव प्रभो ॥'
 
"You have composed the Bharata,
enriched with every idea. That eternal
thing, the Brahman, you have desired
to comprehend and you have
com-
prehended. And still, my Lord, you
sorrow for yourself as if you have not
achieved your purpose."

'अस्त्येव मे सर्वमिदं त्वयोक्त
तथाऽपि नात्मा परितुष्यते मे ।
तन्मूलमव्यक्तमगाधबोधं
पृच्छामहे त्वाऽऽत्मभवात्मभूतम् ॥'
 
Vyasa :
 
" I do have all this you have said ; still
my soul is not satisfied; its imperceptible
cause that is too deep for me to under-
stand, I ask of you, the son of the
self-born Brahman."
