2.17_2.p11

avidyāyāṃ bahudhā vartamānā vayaṃ kṛtārthā ityabhimanyanti bālāḥ |
yatkarmiṇo na pravedayanti rāgāt-tenāturāḥ kṣīṇalokāścyavante ||

"Remaining in various ways in ignorance, the childish fancy, 'We have achieved our goals!' / Because the performers of rites do not understand due to passion, therefore, afflicted, they fall down when their worlds are exhausted."
