Verse 3.98.45

सा भीषणा विविधकण्टकसङ्कटाङ्गी घोराटवी घनतमोगहनापि लोके ।
आगत्य निर्वृतिमलब्धपरावबोधैरासेव्यते कुसुमगुल्मकवाटिकेव ॥ ४५ ॥

sā bhīṣaṇā vividhakaṇṭakasaṅkaṭāṅgī ghorāṭavī ghanatamogahanāpi loke |
āgatya nirvṛtimalabdhaparāvabodhairāsevyate kusumagulmakavāṭikeva || 45 ||

O that dreadful desert is this world, filled with thorns and dangers on all sides. It is a dark desert amidst a thick spread darkness, and no body that comes herein, finds the peace and quiet of his heart, except such as have acquired the divine knowledge, which makes it a rose garden to them.
