13.30

nāgo jahā paṃkajalāvasanno daṭṭhuṃ thalaṃ nābhisamei tīraṃ |
evaṃ vayaṃ kāmaguṇesu giddhā na bhikkhuṇo maggamaṇavvayāmo ||

Just as an elephant stuck in mud and water, seeing the dry ground, cannot reach the bank, / so we, greedy for the pleasures of the senses, do not follow the monk's path.
