Verse 4.41.38

यथैषा जन्मदुःखेषु न भूयस्त्वां नियोक्ष्यति ।
सर्वापदामेकसखीमज्ञानतरुमञ्जरीम् ।
अनर्थसार्थजननीमविद्यामलमुद्धर ॥ ३८ ॥

yathaiṣā janmaduḥkheṣu na bhūyastvāṃ niyokṣyati |
sarvāpadāmekasakhīmajñānatarumañjarīm |
anarthasārthajananīmavidyāmalamuddhara || 38 ||

Take care, lest it should enthral thee to the pain of thy repeated transmigrations, and know ignorance to be the root of all evils and companion of every vice. It creates a man's interest in what proves his peril.
