71
Let him observe silence, let him abandon home, let him practice mastery of the ritual injunctions, / let him dwell in the forest, let him undergo the toil of scripture, let him perform austerity; / but if he does not know how to conquer the host of senses—that great wind shattering the grove of heaps of welfare— / know that all of it is an oblation poured into ashes! (71)
