तावदायाति विरतिं न वशं यावदापदाम् ।
नानाबन्धपरं चेतः परानर्थेहितोन्मुखम् ॥ १६ ॥

tāvadāyāti viratiṃ na vaśaṃ yāvadāpadām |
nānābandhaparaṃ cetaḥ parānarthehitonmukham || 16 ||

My mind also, which is ever prompt to meet all hazards, and to expose itself to all kinds of restraints, never finds its rest until it is overwhelmed under some danger, and brought under the peril of death.
