संसारवासनाभावरूपे सक्ता नु यस्य धीः ।
मन्दो मोक्षे निराकाङ्क्षी स श्वा कीटोऽथवा जनः ॥ २६ ॥

saṃsāravāsanābhāvarūpe saktā nu yasya dhīḥ |
mando mokṣe nirākāṅkṣī sa śvā kīṭo'thavā janaḥ || 26 ||

The man whose mind is addicted to worldly desires, and who thinks its vanities as his real good, leads a life to misery only like those of insects and worms, and is unfit to be born as a human being, notwithstanding all his knowledge of this world and all his holy devotion.
