भ्रान्तिमात्रमसंख्येयं जगज्जीवकणोदरे ।
वटधानातरुमिव स्थितं को वा न पश्यति ॥ २२ ॥

bhrāntimātramasaṃkhyeyaṃ jagajjīvakaṇodare |
vaṭadhānātarumiva sthitaṃ ko vā na paśyati || 22 ||

Who does not know, that the endless desires which are sown in the human breast, like the countless seeds of a fig fruit; come of their own nature, to grow up to big trees in their time?
