तृष्णयैवेह लुठथ जरामरणसंकटे ।
भ्रमदृष्ट्येव शिखरिपथिकाः श्वभ्रभूमिषु ॥ ६५ ॥

tṛṣṇayaiveha luṭhatha jarāmaraṇasaṃkaṭe |
bhramadṛṣṭyeva śikharipathikāḥ śvabhrabhūmiṣu || 65 ||

It is owing to your desires that you are exposed to the perils of death and disease, as it is the dim sightedness of the traveller over the mountainous spots that hurls him headlong into the deep cavern below.
