manuṣyāṇām sahasreṣu–Of thousands of men; kaśchit–a rare one; yatati–endeavours; siddhaye–for self-realisation and Supersoulrealisation; yatatām siddhānām api–and of thousands who have attained such realisation; kaśchit–a rare one; tattvataḥ–truly; vetti–knows; mām–Me, Śyāmasundar. [3]

Of countless souls, few reach the human form; of thousands of human beings, very few may try to realise the soul and the Supersoul; and of thousands who have attained such realisation, hardly one can actually know Me, Śyāmasundar.
