घना न वासना यस्य पुनर्जननकारिणी ।
बीजाङ्कुरवदेते हि संस्थिते तिलतैलवत् ॥ ५० ॥

ghanā na vāsanā yasya punarjananakāriṇī |
bījāṅkuravadete hi saṃsthite tilatailavat || 50 ||

The gross desires of men are the causes of their repeated births, as the seeds are causes of the repeated growth of trees; and the germ of regeneration is contained in the desire, as the future plant is contained in the seed, and the oily juice is inbred in the sesamum seed.
