तां बुद्धिमुपजिज्ञासुस्त्वमेवैतान् परित्यज । अनर्थश्षार्थरूपेण हार्थाश्षानर्थरूपिण:
Translation
If you wish to understand that insight, then you yourself must abandon these enjoyments—harms that appear in the guise of gain. For in truth all pleasures are of the nature of anartha: futile and fraught with harm.
