hiṃsā-śūnyam ayatna-labhyam aśanaṃ dhātrā marut-kalpitaṃ
vyālānaṃ paśavas tṛṇāṅkura-bhujas tuṣṭāḥ sthalī-śāyinaḥ |
saṃsārārṇava-laṅghana-kṣama-dhiyāṃ vṛttiḥ kṛtā sā nṛṇāṃ
tām anveṣayatāṃ prayānti satataṃ sarvaṃ samāptiṃ guṇāḥ ||

Food free from violence and obtained without effort—air—was created by the Creator for snakes;
beasts are content eating blades of grass, sleeping on the bare ground;
for men possessing an intellect capable of crossing the ocean of worldly existence, such a livelihood was made,
yet in chasing after that other [fortune], all their virtues continually come to an end.
