21 niraṭhagammi virao | mehuṇāo susaṃvuḍo /
jo sakkhaṃ nābhijāṇāmi | dhammaṃ kallāṇapāvagaṃ ||42||

'It was of no use to turn away from the lust of the senses and to live restrainedly, for I do not properly recognise good and bad things.' (42)
'Though in practising austerities and religious observances I live according to strict rules, still the hindrances to knowledge will not go off.' (43)

Hermann Jacobi 1895, Uttarâdhyayana Sûtra (Gaina Sûtras II, SBE 45)
