Meaning:
I am not a sinner. This so-called life is all a fake and it is of your making. What can a doll, shaped like a pounding sick, do for itself? Because of the Sutras you hold in your hand you are able to cause movements in the hands and legs. In this city-like body you have restrained me and having closed off all the nine exits that are guarded by twenty-six sentries and making me suffer through this miserable life, is indeed unfair. Are you not the operator of my internal engine? Under these conditions what kind of independence do I have? Purandaravithala! The father of Manmata and one manifesting himself in several forms, all that happens in this world is because of your will.
