indriyavyālasaṃbādhā tṛṣṇātvaguparañjitā || 15 ||

The wild elephant of the mind, ranges at large under the arbour of Ignorance; and the birds of our desires, are continually hovering and warbling upon it; while the vipers of sensual appetites, are infesting its stem, and avarice settles as a huge snake at the root.
