आदातुमिच्छन्पदमुत्तमानां स्वचेतसैवापहतोऽद्य लोकः ।

ādātumicchanpadamuttamānāṃ svacetasaivāpahato'dya lokaḥ |
patatyaśaṅkaṃ paśuradrikūṭādānīlavallīphalavāñchayaiva || 37 ||

People are still deluded in their minds in wishing to attain the state of their superiors; but they fall down still lower like beasts (goats) from the top of a hill, in wishing to lay hold on the fruits of a verdant creeper out of their reach.
