brahmendrādi-marud-gaṇāṃs tṛṇa-kaṇān yatra sthito manyate
yat-svādād virasā bhavanti vibhavās trailokya-rājyādayaḥ |
bhogaḥ ko 'pi sa eva eka paramo nityodito jṛmbhate
bhoḥ sādho kṣaṇa-bhaṅgure tad itare bhoge ratiṃ mā kṛthāḥ ||

Stationed where one regards the hosts of gods, Brahmā, Indra, and the rest, as specks of grass, / through the taste of which the splendors of sovereignty over the three worlds and the like lose their flavor— / that is a certain sensual pleasure, supreme, single, and ever-risen, which unfolds; / O virtuous person, do not take delight in any other sensual pleasure that is fleeting in an instant!
