पूर्वेभ्यस्तु प्रयत्नेभ्यो विषमोऽयं हि संस्मृतः ।
दुःसाध्यो वासनात्यागः सुमेरून्मूलनादपि ॥ १० ॥

pūrvebhyastu prayatnebhyo viṣamo'yaṃ hi saṃsmṛtaḥ |
duḥsādhyo vāsanātyāgaḥ sumerūnmūlanādapi || 10 ||

Of all others which have been said before, it is the most difficult task to get rid of one's earthly desires; and it is impossible to root them out of the mind, as it is to uproot the mount Meru from its basis.
