10. Even if they get preceptors capable of playing the part of a lamp in disclosing the details of all objects, they do not, however, show the devout thought of Renunciation, which is the most Excellent Path to forage Siddbipur, ( the city of Final Emancipation.)
11. Then, also, if there is a desire for renunciation, with the appearance of an evil karma in the form of an independent cause of numerous severe miseries, carelessness becomes difficult to be abandoned like a forest-elephant

13 While the great majority though well-equipped with uninterrupted opportunities, have their intellect bewildered by worldly pleasures which are unpleasant in the end.
14. Out of those who take delight in their vehement desire for the flash of sensual pleasures like dogs, who can even have that rare opportunity or who can even think of it !

15. Those, whose sight of correct judgment has been occluded by the vell of prime of youth, think of the curliness of the hair of young females, but they do not think of the deceitfulness of their minds.

Some look rejoicingly at their round breasts of extensive circumference, but they do not look to the intellect for religious duties. They look with joy at their slender bellies, but they do not look to the minuteness of their own age-limit.
