6.28.84

kva baghnāti ratiṃ prājño hyanyakalpitakhadrume .
ekena kalpitā khe strī bhuṅkte tāṃ dūrago'paraḥ .. 84

84. [Sanskrit available] What wise man is there that will place his attachment on anything, which is an unreality both in its beginning and end, and is quite unsteady in the midst. No one has any faith in the arbour of his imagination or aerial castle.

85. [Sanskrit available] As one fancies he sees a fairy in a passing cloud, and is pleased with the sight of what he can never enjoy, but passes from his view to the sight of distant peoples; so is this passing world, which passes from the sight of some to that of others, without its being fully enjoyed or long retained in the possession of any one. (The passing world passes from hand to hand, without its standing still at any one's command).
