यत्किंचित्साध्यते लोके मूलं तस्य च कामना । कथं कामं विनिंदति तस्मात्ते मोक्षसाधकाः
yatkiṃcitsādhyate loke mūlaṃ tasya ca kāmanā | kathaṃ kāmaṃ viniṃdati tasmātte mokṣasādhakāḥ
यत्किञ्चित् साध्यते लोके तस्य मूलं कामना; तर्हि कामं कथं निन्देत? तस्मात् मोक्षसाधका अपि तामेव (सूक्ष्मां) कामनाम् आश्रयन्ति।
Indra
Scene: A symbolic ‘tree of action’ whose root is labeled kāmanā; branches bear fruits labeled dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa; a yogin waters only the mokṣa branch, showing sublimation.
Desire is the driving intention behind action; spiritual life refines desire rather than merely denying it.
No tīrtha is specified in this verse; the focus is ethical-philosophical discourse.
None; it frames a principle about motivation and attainment.
