Verse 7.25.6

संसारान्ध्यतयोदेति वासनात्मा रसश्चितौ ।
यथा वनतया तस्थौ मधुमासरसः क्षितौ ॥ ६ ॥

saṃsārāndhyatayodeti vāsanātmā rasaścitau |
yathā vanatayā tasthau madhumāsarasaḥ kṣitau || 6 ||

The world appears as a dark maze to the mind, that is cloyed in the serum of its lickerish appetites; as the ground is shaded under the bushy trees, by the sap supplied by the vernal season.
