तृष्णार्चिषः परिदहन्ति न शान्तिरासा
मिष्टेन्द्रियार्थविभवैः परिवृद्धिरेव । स्थित्यैव कायपरितापहरं निमित्त
मित्यात्मवान् विषयसौख्यपराङ्मुखोऽभूत् ॥
(१७-२-८२)
The fire of lust burns the worldly beings from all sides. Indulgence in sensual pleasures does not calm down the lust but, as is the nature of the senses, intensifies it. Such indulgence is only an external palliative. O Lord! Knowing this, you became averse to the pleasures appertaining to the senses.
