Shloka 18

पञ्चवर्णोत्पत्तिः — The Origin of the Five-Colored Fiery Being and Ritual-Disruptor Lineages

Devanagari script

इति लोकमनाक्रन्दं मोहशोकपरिप्लुतम्‌

Transliteration

iti lokam anākrandaṁ mohaśokapariplutam

Translation

“Thus is the world—without any true outcry for help, yet wholly overwhelmed and flooded by delusion and grief.” (The hunter-teacher points to the human condition: people suffer inwardly under ignorance and sorrow, and the ethical task is to rise from moha and śoka through right understanding and dharma.)
