अनयोपहतो लोकः कल्याणं नाधिगच्छति ।
भास्वरं तापनालोकं पटलान्धेक्षणो यथा ॥ ४० ॥

anayopahato lokaḥ kalyāṇaṃ nādhigacchati |
bhāsvaraṃ tāpanālokaṃ paṭalāndhekṣaṇo yathā || 40 ||

Men being deluded by it, are at a loss to know their real good, as the blinded eye is incapable to perceive the brightness of the day.
