जीवितस्य यथा बाल्यं दृष्टं प्राथमकल्पिकम् ।
निर्वाणस्य तथा भोगसंत्यागो रागशान्तिदः ॥ २३ ॥

jīvitasya yathā bālyaṃ dṛṣṭaṃ prāthamakalpikam |
nirvāṇasya tathā bhogasaṃtyāgo rāgaśāntidaḥ || 23 ||

As boyhood is the first stage of the life of a man, and introduces the other ages for perfection of human nature; so the first step to one's self-extinction, is the renunciation of his carnal enjoyments, conducing to the subjection of passions.
