ईश्वर उवाच ।
वासनावशतो दुःखं विद्यमाने च सा भवेत् ।
अविद्यमानं च जगन्मृगतृष्णाम्बुभङ्गवत् ॥ ५२ ॥

īśvara uvāca |
vāsanāvaśato duḥkhaṃ vidyamāne ca sā bhavet |
avidyamānaṃ ca jaganmṛgatṛṣṇāmbubhaṅgavat || 52 ||

The god replied:—All human woe is owing to their desires, and belief of the reality of the world; but it must be known to be all as unreal, as waves of water seen in a sea in the mirage.
