Verse 3.110.67

चित्तं चलत्कुवलयं वलयन्त एते मूढा महाजडजवे मदमोहमन्दाः ।
आवर्तवर्तिनि विलूनविशीर्णचिन्ताचक्रभ्रमे पुरुषदुर्भ्रमराः पतन्ति ॥ ६७ ॥

cittaṃ calatkuvalayaṃ valayanta ete mūḍhā mahājaḍajave madamohamandāḥ |
āvartavartini vilūnaviśīrṇacintācakrabhrame puruṣadurbhramarāḥ patanti || 67 ||

Foolish men that are infatuated by their giddiness and ignorance, revolve round the centre of their hearts, as the giddy bees flutter about the lotus-flower of the lake; till at last grown weary in their giddy circles, they fall down in the encompassing whirlpools, which hurl them in irreparable ruin.
