Uv3:16
yathāpi mūlair anupadrutaiḥ sadā chinno 'pi vṛkṣaḥ punar eva jāyate |
evaṃ hi tṛṣṇānuśayair anuddhṛtair nirvartate duḥkham idaṃ punaḥ punaḥ ||

Uv3:16
Just as a tree, though cut down, grows again if its roots are ever uninjured, / even so, when the latent tendencies of craving are not eradicated, this suffering arises again and again.
