Verse 5.52.16

आगत्य श्रोत्रतां मूर्ख व्यर्थोत्थानोपबृंहिताम् ।
धिया शब्दानुसारिण्या मृगवन्मा क्षयं व्रज ॥ १६ ॥

āgatya śrotratāṃ mūrkha vyarthotthānopabṛṃhitām |
dhiyā śabdānusāriṇyā mṛgavanmā kṣayaṃ vraja || 16 ||

O my foolish heart! why art thou roused at the sound of some good which reaches unto thy ears, and being led by thy deluded mind, in the direction of that sound; thou fallest a victim to it, as the deer is entrapped in the snare, by being beguiled by the hunter's horn.
