मदाशयगताप्येषा ज्ञप्तिं दत्त्वा सरस्वती ।
मन्मोक्षाय किमित्यङ्ग सद्रूपापि न चेष्टते ॥ २९ ॥

madāśayagatāpyeṣā jñaptiṃ dattvā sarasvatī |
manmokṣāya kimityaṅga sadrūpāpi na ceṣṭate || 29 ||

And why is it that the goddess knowing the desire of my heart for liberation, left me only to desire it without attempting to seek after the same? (i.e. Why does the goddess give us the knowledge of what is good, without enabling us to exist and persist after its attainment)?
