तस्मादासामनन्तानां तृष्णानां रघुनन्दन ।
उपायस्त्याग एवैको न नाम परिपालनम् ॥ ५ ॥

tasmādāsāmanantānāṃ tṛṣṇānāṃ raghunandana |
upāyastyāga evaiko na nāma paripālanam || 5 ||

The best means of our release from the multifarious objects of our desire, is the utter suppression of our appetites, rather than the fostering of them.
