O great and learned one, my mind is greatly illusioned by the distress of
this nescience, and | therefore request you to clear it up.

Such mental bewilderment as represented here by Vidura takes: place
for some living entities, but not for everyone, for if everyone were
bewildered there would be no possibility of a solution by higher person-
alities.
