अमुक्तो मन्यसे मुक्तो किं तु मुक्तो ति मन्यसि ।
गाढबंधनबद्धो सि न मे श्रमण मोक्ष्यसि ॥ १ ॥

amukto manyase mukto kiṃ tu mukto ti manyasi |
gāḍhabaṃdhanabaddho si na me śramaṇa mokṣyasi || 1 ||

Unfreed, thou thinkest thyself freed. What meanest thou to say thou art freed? In close bonds art thou bound, for from me thou wilt not escape, O Recluse. (1)
