क्व बघ्नाति रतिं प्राज्ञो ह्यन्यकल्पितखद्रुमे ।
एकेन कल्पिता खे स्त्री भुङ्क्ते तां दूरगोऽपरः ॥ ८४ ॥

kva baghnāti ratiṃ prājño hyanyakalpitakhadrume |
ekena kalpitā khe strī bhuṅkte tāṃ dūrago'paraḥ || 84 ||

What wise man is there that will place his attachment on anything, which is an unreality both in its beginning and end, and is quite unsteady in the midst. No one has any faith in the arbour of his imagination or aerial castle.
