संसारवासनाजाले खगजाल इवाखुना ।
त्रोटिते हृदयग्रन्थौ श्लथे वैराग्यरंहसा ॥ ७ ॥

saṃsāravāsanājāle khagajāla ivākhunā |
troṭite hṛdayagranthau ślathe vairāgyaraṃhasā || 7 ||

The net of desires, which ensnares men as birds in their traps, is cut asunder by a spirit of dispassionateness; as the meshes of a net, are torn into twain, by the teeth of a mouse.
