भोगार्थमेतद् भविनां शरीरम्,
ज्ञानार्थमेतद् किल योगिनां वै । जाता विषं चेद्विषया हि सम्यक्, ज्ञानात्ततः किं कुणपस्य पुष्टया ॥१॥
The physical body is to wordly beings, A means of quenching sensual cravings, But unto the seekers of spiritual union,
It is a tool of knowledge acquisition. do What purpose is served by nourishing the body,
When once right knowledge indicates clearly
That objects of sense are in fact poison, 4 Which subject the soul to deadly delusion ?
