घनवासनमेतत्तु चेतः कर्तृत्वभाजनम् ।
सर्वदुःखप्रदं तस्माद्वासनां तनुतां नयेत् ॥ १९ ॥

ghanavāsanametattu cetaḥ kartṛtvabhājanam |
sarvaduḥkhapradaṃ tasmādvāsanāṃ tanutāṃ nayet || 19 ||

The thick gathering desires, serve to fill the mind with the vanity of its agency, which is the cause of all its woes; (because it wakens them, only to labour under their throes); therefore try to weaken your desires at all times.
