āśāpāśaśatair baddhāḥ kāmakrodhaparāyaṇāḥ
īhante kāmabhogārtham anyāyenārthasaṃcayān
āmiṣakavaḷu thorī āśā |
na vicāritāṃ giḷī māsā |
taiseṃ kīje viṣayāśā |
tayāṃsi gā ||

*{Bound by hundreds of bonds of hope, devoted to desire and anger, they strive by unjust means to amass wealth for the enjoyment of desire. (16.12)}*
Driven by great greed, / without reflection, a fish swallows the hook's bait: / even so does greed for sense-objects / treat them, O friend.
