दुःखार्भककृताक्रन्दं सुखशय्यामनोरमम् ।
दुरीहादग्धदासीकं नेष्टं देहगृहं मम ॥ २३ ॥

duḥkhārbhakakṛtākrandaṃ sukhaśayyāmanoramam |
durīhādagdhadāsīkaṃ neṣṭaṃ dehagṛhaṃ mama || 23 ||

I do not like this dwelling of the body with its bed of pleasure on one side, and the cries of pain as those of its children on the other, and where our evil desires are at work like its bawling hand-maids.
