अधश्चोर्ध्वं च धावन्तश्चक्रावर्तविवर्तनैः ।
सर्वे तृणवदुह्यन्ते मूढा मोहभवाम्बुधौ ॥ २६ ॥

adhaścordhvaṃ ca dhāvantaścakrāvartavivartanaiḥ |
sarve tṛṇavaduhyante mūḍhā mohabhavāmbudhau || 26 ||

Beside them there are others, who are quite ignorant of truth, and are tossed about and whirled up and down like straws, by the whirling waters of the dangerous eddies of ignorance, in the dark and dismal ocean of this world.
