<a id="line-1"></a>माया है जड़ शक्ति पै, ज्ञानिहूँ पार न पाय ।  
<a id="line-2"></a>याको कारन स्वयं हरि, याको प्रेरक आय ॥७॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - वस्तुतः माया जड़ शक्ति है। किंतु इस माया को महानतम आत्मज्ञानी  
<a id="line-4"></a>भी नहीं जीत सकता। इसका प्रमुख कारण यही है कि यह माया स्वयं  
<a id="line-5"></a>श्रीकृष्ण की है। एवं उनकी ही प्रेरणा शक्ति से कार्य करती है।

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>In reality maya is lifeless, but even greatest self-realized gyanis  
<a id="line-9"></a>cannot overcome it. The main reason is that maya is a power of  
<a id="line-10"></a>Krishn and it works only with the inspiration of Krishn.
