5.1a5
vidu yad bhavān ājñāpayati / (utthāya+bho vayasya gṛhītasya tayā parakīyair hastaiḥ śikhaṇḍake tāḍyamānasyāpsarasā vītarāgasyeva nāstīdānīṃ me mokṣaḥ /
Clown. Yes, sir. (He rises.) But, man, you are using another fellow's fingers to grab a bear's tail-feathers with. I have about as much chance of salvation as a monk who hasn't forgotten his passions.
