saṃsāre kliśyate tena garbhalobhavaśānugaḥ | garbhasmṛtena pāpena samujjhitamatiḥ pumān

It teaches that bondage (pāśa) intensifies when consciousness clings to embodied existence; craving for repeated birth dulls discrimination, keeping the soul circling in saṃsāra rather than turning to Shiva (Pati) for liberation.
