26-SruSTiyaaSayavadEnaspaShTa samkliShTa...

Translation in English:  O! Mankutimma, what is the goal of this creation? It is so unclear and merger of opposites. All the things that are likable, mesmerizing and magical are on one side. Those that are painful, fearful and horrific are on the other side. But the classifying not clear. They are indistinguishable from each other. This thing created by the creator is very difficult to understand.
