मूर्खस्य तु मनस्त्यागो नूनं दुःसाध्यतां गतः ।
पामरस्येव साम्राज्यं तृणस्येव सुमेरुता ॥ ७ ॥

mūrkhasya tu manastyāgo nūnaṃ duḥsādhyatāṃ gataḥ |
pāmarasyeva sāmrājyaṃ tṛṇasyeva sumerutā || 7 ||

But it is very difficult for the ignorant, to get rid of or forsake the desires of their minds; it is as hard to them as it is for a boor to wield the reins of a kingdom, and for a heap of grass to be as high as a mountain.
