श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
न च प्रभूतभोगेषु न पुंस्त्वे न च जीविते ।
न चेन्द्रियजयोन्मुक्तौ दीपस्तनुदृशो यथा ॥ २ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
na ca prabhūtabhogeṣu na puṃstve na ca jīvite |
na cendriyajayonmuktau dīpastanudṛśo yathā || 2 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Addictedness to enjoyments and display of manhood, and devotedness to the acquisition of the means of life or wealth; are preventives of self-controul and liberation of one's self, as blindness is an obstruction to one's sight of a light.
