परमात्मपरिक्रान्तो दुःखकण्टकसंकटे ।
सुदुष्प्रापसुखच्छाये पान्थः संसारवर्त्मनि ॥ २२ ॥

paramātmaparikrānto duḥkhakaṇṭakasaṃkaṭe |
suduṣprāpasukhacchāye pānthaḥ saṃsāravartmani || 22 ||

Forsaken by the supreme soul, the sole and faithful guide in our journey through life; we are exposed to the intricate maze of thorns and thickets, till the weary traveller is at a loss of the shady grove where to take his rest.
