मागां श्रोतयांचा पक्ष । कितां दिवसां होतो मोक्ष । तेचि कथा श्रोते दक्ष । होऊन ऐका ॥ १ ॥
मागें श्रोत्यांनी असें विचारलें कीं, मोक्ष मोळण्यास किती दिवस लागतात ? त्याचे उत्तर श्रोत्यांनी सावधपणें ऐकावे.
Previously it was the opinion of the listener, that after `many' days liberation is gained. But such liberation is still the `I am'* of an alert listener. Therefore continue to listen carefully. *(This liberation is sagun; one stops regarding oneself as a gross body and feels `I pervade all this'. But `I' still remains)
