अबुद्धिपूर्वं चानिच्छमेवमेव प्रवर्तते ।
काकतालीयवत्स्पन्दादावर्ता इव वारिणि ॥ ४६ ॥

kākatālīyavatspandādāvartā iva vāriṇi || 46 ||

This unavoidable destiny overtakes us, against our prudence and will, like the sudden fall of a fruit on a flying crow ([Sanskrit: kakataliya]) and drives us along with its course, as the tide or eddy bears down the waters with it.
