ब्राह्ममण्डमिवाखण्डं लोकेशाः पालयन्ति तम् ।
अप्यापदि दुरन्तायां नैव गन्तव्यमक्रमे ॥ ३९ ॥

brāhmamaṇḍamivākhaṇḍaṃ lokeśāḥ pālayanti tam |
apyāpadi durantāyāṃ naiva gantavyamakrame || 39 ||

Nobody should walk in paths which are long and wearisome, crooked and winding, and encompassed by dangers and difficulties; because Rahu—the ascending node, lost its life by its curvilinear course, to drink the nectarine beams of the moon.
