चक्षुरालोकनायैव जीवस्तु सुखदुःखयोः ।
भारायैव बलीवर्दो भोक्ता द्रव्यस्य नायकः ॥ २ ॥

cakṣurālokanāyaiva jīvastu sukhaduḥkhayoḥ |
bhārāyaiva balīvardo bhoktā dravyasya nāyakaḥ || 2 ||

The eyes are for seeing only, and the living soul is for bearing the burthen of pain and pleasure alone; they are like the eyes and bodies of a beast, or like bull of burden, which sees and carries a load of food, without being able to taste it.
