tat te vayaṁ loka-sisṛkṣayādya tvayānusṛṣṭās tribhir ātmabhiḥ sma sarve viyuktāḥ sva-vihāra-tantraṁ na śaknumas tat pratihartave te
Translation
O Original Person, we are therefore but Yours only. Although we are Your creatures, we are born one after another under the influence of the three modes of nature, and for this reason we are separated in action. Therefore, after the creation we could not act concertedly for Your transcendental pleasure.
