kavayaḥ = the seers, poets, enlightened ones;
vadanti = declare;
Arise, awake, having obtained your boons, realise (them). Sharp as the edge of a
razor and hard to cross, difficult to tread is that path (so) sages declare.
This path is not easy. It is a razor sharp path which can lead to our own
destruction if we do not maintain perpetual vigilance.
na ayam ātma balahīnena labhya -
this ātma cannot be obtained by the weak.
