विषं विषयवैषम्यं न विषं विषमुच्यते ।
जन्मान्तरघ्ना विषया एकदेहहरं विषम् ॥ १३ ॥

viṣaṃ viṣayavaiṣamyaṃ na viṣaṃ viṣamucyate |
janmāntaraghnā viṣayā ekadehaharaṃ viṣam || 13 ||

It is the worldliness of man that is his true poison, while real poison is no poison to him. It is the poison of worldliness which destroys his future life, while real poison is only locally injurious to him.
