भवजलधिगतास्ते वासनातन्तुनुन्नास्तृणमिव चिरमूढा देहरूपैस्तरङ्गैः ।
उपशममुपयाता राम नाद्याप्यनन्तं परिकलय महत्त्वं दारुणं वासनायाः ॥ १८ ॥

bhavajaladhigatāste vāsanātantununnāstṛṇamiva ciramūḍhā deharūpaistaraṅgaiḥ |
upaśamamupayātā rāma nādyāpyanantaṃ parikalaya mahattvaṃ dāruṇaṃ vāsanāyāḥ || 18 ||

Thus like their endless desires, they have been eternally rolling like weeds in the ocean of the earth; and there is no end of their pains until the end of their desires.
