तावती तावती दुःखबीजमुष्टिः प्ररोहति ॥ २६ ॥

yāvatī yāvatī jantoricchodeti yathā yathā |
tāvatī tāvatī duḥkhabījamuṣṭiḥ prarohati || 26 ||

Whenever a man allows his desire, to rise in any manner in his heart; even then he scatters a handful of the seeds of affliction, to sprout forth in the fair ground of his mind.
