एवं विलोललहरीभीमात्संसारसागरात् ।
उत्तीर्यते चेन्मग्नेन तत्परं पौरुषं भवेत् ॥ १२ ॥

evaṃ vilolalaharībhīmātsaṃsārasāgarāt |
uttīryate cenmagnena tatparaṃ pauruṣaṃ bhavet || 12 ||

Such is this ocean-like world, with its tremendous surges and rolling waves; and it is the part of manhood to buffet it over by manly exertions, in order to save one's self from sinking under them.
