जडगतेरवलोकय शक्ततां निजपदस्मरणेन विनेह चित् ।
व्रजति कष्टमधः पतनाय या यदरघट्टघटीघनपीठवत् ॥ १०९ ॥

jaḍagateravalokaya śaktatāṃ nijapadasmaraṇena vineha cit |
vrajati kaṣṭamadhaḥ patanāya yā yadaraghaṭṭaghaṭīghanapīṭhavat || 109 ||

Look on the deplorable condition of intellect—chit; which having forgotten its original state (of purity), is subjected to the impotent Ignorance, which has been casting it to the miseries of degradation, as they cast a bucket in the well by a string, which lowers it lower and lower till it sinks in the bottom of the pit.
