3.11

na saṃsārotpannaṃ caritam anupaśyāmi kuśalaṃ
vipākaḥ puṇyānāṃ janayati bhayaṃ me vimṛśataḥ |
mahadbhiḥ puṇyaughaiś cira-parigṛhītāś ca viṣayā
mahānto jāyante vyasanam iva dātuṃ viṣayiṇām ||

I see no good outcome born of this cycle of worldly existence;
when I reflect on it, the ripening of merits causes me dread.
For sense objects, enjoyed for a long time through great floods of merit,
turn out only to bring ruin, as it were, upon the pleasure-seeker.
