Tathapi bata me daihyo hi atma cha eva atmana bibhu Asampanna ibabhati brahma varchasya sattamah
ENGLISH SYNONYMS
Tathapi—although, bata—defecto, Me—mine, hi—certainly, Atma—living being, Eva—even, Atmana—myself, Bibhu—sufficient, Asampanna—wanting in, Ibabhati—it appears to be, Brahmavarchasya—of the Vedantists, Sattamah—The Supreme.
TRANSLATION
I am feeling still wanting although myself is already fully equipped with everything required in the matter of Vedic principles.
PURPORT
Undoubtedly Srila Vyasadeva was complete in all the details of Vedic achievements. Purification of the living being submerged in matter, is made possible by the prescribed activities in the Vedas but the ultimate achievement is different. Unless the ultimate achievement is attained, the living being, even though fully equipped, cannot be situated in the transcendentally normal stage. Srila Vyasadva appeared to have lost the clue and therefore felt dissatisfaction.
