Verse 7.24.21
साप्यदृष्टिरिवान्ध्याय वासनावेशकारिणी ।
तदेवमतिसंमोहे यत्कार्यमिह दारुणे ।
उदर्कश्रेयसे तात तन्मे कथय पृच्छते ॥ २१ ॥
sāpyadṛṣṭirivāndhyāya vāsanāveśakāriṇī |
tadevamatisaṃmohe yatkāryamiha dāruṇe |
udarkaśreyase tāta tanme kathaya pṛcchate || 21 ||
This want of sight or disregard of the sastras, leads to our blindness by kindling our desires, and by blinding our understanding;—Therefore tell me sir, what am I to do in this difficulty, and what is it that may conduce to my chief good, that I am asking thee to relate.
