न बुद्धमेषन्ति महानुभावं न धर्म मार्गन्ति दुखान्तगामिनम् ॥ १११ ॥
tṛṣṇāvilagnāṃścamarīva bāle kāmairihāndhīkṛta sarvakālam |
na buddhameṣanti mahānubhāvaṃ na dharma mārganti dukhāntagāminam || 111 ||
Fettered as they are by desire like the yak by its tail, continually blinded by sensual pleasure, they do not seek the Buddha, the mighty one; they do not seek the law that leads to the end of pain.
