tyājyaṃ sukhaṃ viṣayasaṃgamajanma puṅsāṃ
duḥkhopasṛṣṭam iti mūrkhavicāraṇai 'ṣā;
vrīhīn apāsyati sitottamataṇḍulāḍhyān
ko nāma tattuṣakaṇopahitān hitārthī? || 3 ||

‘Pleasure born from the contact of sense objects is to be abandoned by men
because it is touched by suffering’—this is the reasoning of fools.
What person seeking his own benefit would cast away rice grains
rich with excellent white kernels, just because they are covered with husks? || 3
