बद्धमस्मीति कलयद्विद्यातत्त्वं जहच्छनैः ।
अविद्यां जनयत्यन्तर्जगज्जङ्गलराक्षसीम् ॥ ३३ ॥

baddhamasmīti kalayadvidyātattvaṃ jahacchanaiḥ |
avidyāṃ janayatyantarjagajjaṅgalarākṣasīm || 33 ||

Knowing itself to be enslaved, it bids farewell to the freedom of its thought and knowledge; and begets within itself the gross ignorance, which rages and ranges free in the forest of this world, with its horribly monstrous appearance.
