Ebam prabrittasya sada bhutanam shreaysi dwija
Sarbatmakenapi yada natusyat hridayam tatah.
Ebam-thus, Prabrittasya-one who is engaged in, Bhutanam-of the living beings, Shreyasi-in the matter of ultimate good, Dwija-oh the twice born, Sarbatmakena-by all means, Yada-when, Na-not, Tushyat-become satisfied, Hridayam-mind, Tatah-at that time.
Oh the twice born Brahmins, thus when His mind was not satisfied even though He engaged himself for all round welfare work for the general mass of people, thereafter.
Sri Vyasadeva was not satisfied with Himself although He prepared literatures in the Vedic values, for all-round welfare activities of the general mass of people. It was expected that He would be satisfied by all such activities but ultimately He was not satisfied.
