भवद्भिरेव दुःखाय वासनावासिता मुधा ।
बालैः पङ्कक्रीडनकं विनाशेनेव खिन्नता ॥ ६२ ॥

bhavadbhireva duḥkhāya vāsanāvāsitā mudhā |
bālaiḥ paṅkakrīḍanakaṃ vināśeneva khinnatā || 62 ||

It is in vain that you blend your will with your actions, (which are done of themselves by means of the body and mind); while the act of your will is attended with a grief similar to that of children, upon the breaking of the dolls of their handy work in play.
