आलस्वी साधयेन्नैव किंचिद्धर्मं गुणानि वा ।
धर्मकर्मविरक्तात्मा निर्गुणी किं करिष्यति ।
भोग्य एव सदासक्तः पशोरप्यधमो नरः ।
किं तेन पुरुषेणापि निर्गुणेन सुखाशिना ।
यस्य पुण्ये गुणे वापि कदापि नोत्सहेन्मनः ।
पुण्योत्साहविपन्नात्मा दुष्टक्लेशैर्विहन्यते ।
क्लेशितो मारसंघैश्च वशीकृत्य निवद्ध्यते ॥ १४६ ॥ {३६}

ālasvī sādhayennaiva kiṃciddharmaṃ guṇāni vā |
dharmakarmaviraktātmā nirguṇī kiṃ kariṣyati |
bhogya eva sadāsaktaḥ paśorapyadhamo naraḥ |
kiṃ tena puruṣeṇāpi nirguṇena sukhāśinā |
yasya puṇye guṇe vāpi kadāpi notsahenmanaḥ |
puṇyotsāhavipannātmā duṣṭakleśairvihanyate |
kleśito mārasaṃghaiśca vaśīkṛtya nivaddhyate || 146 || {36}
