यस्मात्किल जगत्यस्मिन्व्यवहारक्रिया विना ।
न स्थितिः संभवत्यब्धौ पतितस्याजला यथा ॥ १४ ॥

yasmātkila jagatyasminvyavahārakriyā vinā |
na sthitiḥ saṃbhavatyabdhau patitasyājalā yathā || 14 ||

(How can one get rid of the world) when it is impossible for him to avoid dealing in it, in the same manner as it is not possible for aquatic animals to live without their native element.
