वासनैवेह भवतां हेतुरेकत्र बन्धने ।
रज्जुः शून्याशयप्रोता मुक्तानामातता यथा ॥ ६६ ॥

vāsanaiveha bhavatāṃ heturekatra bandhane |
rajjuḥ śūnyāśayaprotā muktānāmātatā yathā || 66 ||

It is your desire only, that is the chief cause of your being attached to one another in one place;as the thread passing through the holes of pearls, ties them together in a long string round the neck.
