If, leaving the wilderness of transmigration, you wish to go to the city of liberation, / do not take up your abode then among the poison-trees of the sensory objects; / for even their shade quickly spreads great delusion, / on account of which this creature is unable to advance even a single step. // 97
Just as the moon's radiance and the sun's light swiftly illumine an object in the world, / so this lofty fragment of instruction expands the virtues of knowledge and auspicious joy. // 98
