是食甘露者 其身得安隱
不當復持歸 遍及其妻子
如何墮泥中 自污其身體
如是為黠慧 毀其甘露味
又如此華者 不宜久住中
日沒花還合 求出則不能
當須日光明 爾乃復得出
長夜之疲冥 如是甚勤苦

'This one who feeds on amṛta / Has found safety and peace for its body; / Should it not take it back / To share widely with its wife and children? / Why fall into the mud, / To foul its own body? / Acting as if clever and wise, / Yet it ruins the taste of amṛta. / Moreover, with a flower such as this, / One should not long remain within; / When the sun sets the flower closes again, / And if one seeks to escape, one cannot. / It must await the sunlight / Before it can come out again; / The weary darkness of the long night— / Such is great torment and toil.'
