चित्तयक्षदृढाक्रान्तं न शास्त्राणि न बान्धवाः ।
शक्नुवन्ति परित्रातुं गुरवो न च मानवम् ॥ ६८ ॥

cittayakṣadṛḍhākrāntaṃ na śāstrāṇi na bāndhavāḥ |
śaknuvanti paritrātuṃ guravo na ca mānavam || 68 ||

The man that is seized by the voracious yaksha of his own mind, has no change of his release from his grasp, either by the lessons of the sastras or by the advice of his friends, relatives and preceptors.
