त्यक्त्वा पदमिदं मूर्खो मितमेति न पण्डितः ।
उष्ट्रो हि त्यक्तसुलतः कण्टकं याति नेतरः ॥ ७७ ॥

tyaktvā padamidaṃ mūrkho mitameti na paṇḍitaḥ |
uṣṭro hi tyaktasulataḥ kaṇṭakaṃ yāti netaraḥ || 77 ||

It is the fool and not the wise, who forsakes this infinite joy for the temporary delights of this world; and resembles the foolish camel which foregoes his fodder of soft leaves, for browzing the prickly thorns of the desert.
