Translation
(EVEN GREAT GODS ARE UNDER THE POWER OF KARMA)
Brahmaa (the Lord of Creation) has been designated the job of filling the belly of the cosmic egg-pot, like a potter! Vishnu (who pervades all) has been thrown into the deep terrible forest of ‘ten incarnations’! Rudra (who makes all beings cry through dissolution-work) holds the begging bowl (Brahmaa’s skull) in his hand and wanders as a beggar. The sun goes round the sky every day (without rest). Salutation to that ‘Karma’, who is the cause of these sufferings! ॥ 92 ॥
