पुनर्जन्माङ्कुरं त्यक्त्वा स्थिता संभृष्टबीजवत् ।
देहार्थं ध्रियते ज्ञातज्ञेया शुद्धेति चोच्यते ॥ १३ ॥

punarjanmāṅkuraṃ tyaktvā sthitā saṃbhṛṣṭabījavat |
dehārthaṃ dhriyate jñātajñeyā śuddheti cocyate || 13 ||

A pure desire is like a parched seed incapable to bring forth the germ of transmigration, and only supports the present body.
