The Exposition of Spiritual Knowledge
Jñāna-pradarśanam
लुब्धा व्यसनिनोऽज्ञाश्च न यजन्ति जगत्पतिम् । अजरामरवन्मूढास्तिष्ठन्ति नरकीटकाः ॥ ४ ॥
lubdhā vyasanino'jñāśca na yajanti jagatpatim | ajarāmaravanmūḍhāstiṣṭhanti narakīṭakāḥ || 4 ||
The greedy, the vice-addicted, and the ignorant do not worship the Lord of the world; deluded as though ageless and deathless, they remain like worms of hell.
