पंचकामगुणे लोके मनः षष्ठं प्रवेदितं ।
तत्र मे विगतो छन्दो विन्दो विध्वस्तो विनलीकृतो ।
एवं जानाहि पापीमं निहतो त्वम् असि अन्तक ॥ ४ ॥

paṃcakāmaguṇe loke manaḥ ṣaṣṭhaṃ praveditaṃ |
tatra me vigato chando vindo vidhvasto vinalīkṛto |
evaṃ jānāhi pāpīmaṃ nihato tvam asi antaka || 4 ||

There are five strands of sensual pleasures in the world; the mind has been declared a sixth. Gone, scattered, destroyed is my wish for them. Know this, O wicked one; thou art beaten, O Death. (4)
