3.6

kṣāntaṃ na kṣamayā gṛhocita-sukhaṃ tyaktaṃ na santoṣataḥ
soḍho duḥsaha-śīta-tāpa-pavana-kleśo na taptaṃ tapaḥ |
dhyātaṃ vittam ahar-niśaṃ nityamita-prāṇair na śambhoḥ padaṃ
tat-tat-karma kṛtaṃ yad eva munibhis tais taiḥ phalair vañcitāḥ ||

Wrongs were borne, but not through patience; the pleasure fitting for home was abandoned, but not out of contentment;
the affliction of unbearable cold, heat, and wind was endured, but ascetic austerity was not performed;
wealth was meditated upon day and night with restrained breaths, but not the feet of Śambhu:
we performed the very deeds that sages perform, yet were cheated of their fruits!
