शून्योदितात्मा दोषेशो जयत्यज्ञानचन्द्रमाः ।
अज्ञानेन्दोः प्रसादेन वासनामृतशालिना ॥ ५७ ॥

śūnyoditātmā doṣeśo jayatyajñānacandramāḥ |
ajñānendoḥ prasādena vāsanāmṛtaśālinā || 57 ||

As the darkness of ignorance prevails over the mind, soon after the setting of the sun light of reason; there rises the full moon of errors in the empty mind, with all her changing phases of repeated births.
