वासनावलितं लोके स्फुरच्छक्ति मनः स्थितम् ।
करोति स्वाशयेनेमां व्यवस्थां मलिनश्चलः ॥ २८ ॥

vāsanāvalitaṃ loke sphuracchakti manaḥ sthitam |
karoti svāśayenemāṃ vyavasthāṃ malinaścalaḥ || 28 ||

The mind being subject to the sensational, emotional and volitive feelings; loses the purity of its intellectual nature, and plays many parts by its sensuousness.
