Verse 107.3
दृढो नाम मया पाशो चरति मानसं तव ।
तेन त्वां बन्धयिष्यामि न मे श्रमण मोक्ष्यसि ॥ ३ ॥
dṛḍho nāma mayā pāśo carati mānasaṃ tava |
tena tvāṃ bandhayiṣyāmi na me śramaṇa mokṣyasi || 3 ||
Fast is the snare I’ve set, for it is the very life of thy mind. By means of this I’ll hold thee bound; thou wilt not escape from me, O Recluse. (3)
