bhagavarhs te vaco ’smabhir
na samyag avagamyate

your; vacah—words; asmabhih—by us; na—never; samyak—perfectly;
avagamyate—are understood; kavayah—those who are expert; tat—that;
vijananti-can understand; na—never; vayam—we; karma—by fruitive
activities; mohitah—enchanted.

TRANSLATION

King Pracinabarhi replied: My dear lord, we could not appreciate com-
pletely the purport of your allegorical story of King Purafijana. Actually
those who are perfect in spiritual knowledge can understand, but for us,
who are overly attached to fruitive activities, to realize the purpose of
your story is very difficult.
