अवजानन्ति माम् मूढाः मानुषीम् तनुम् आश्रिताम् ।
परम् भावम् अजानन्तो मम भूत महेश्वरम् ॥ ११ ॥


avajAnanti mAm mUDhAH mAnuSIm tanum AzritAm |
param bhAvam ajAnanto mama bhUta mahezvaram || 11 ||

मूढाः [mUDhAH] People who are deluded अवजानन्ति माम् [avajAnanti mAm] disregard Me. अजानन्तः [ajAnantaH] They do not know मम परम् भावम् [mama param bhAvam] My superior state भूत महेश्वरम् [bhUta mahezvaram] as the Lord of all beings, मानुषीम् तनुम् आश्रिताम् [mAnuSIm tanum AzritAm] the Lord who has taken a human form.

Ignorant people are deluded by the effects of their past deeds. They assume that I am a normal human being and disregard Me.

I am in the form of a human with great compassion. This form is for everyone to take refuge in Me, while My will is always fulfilled. Being the Lord of all beings, I am the all-knowing, single cause of the universe.

The ignorant do not know Me as the Supreme Lord of all beings, situated in a limitless amount of compassion and affection. Instead, they are biased by My human appearance, thinking of Me as just another human among them. So, they disregard Me.
