kīṭa manoratha dāru sarīrā। jehi na lāga ghuna ko asa dhīrā॥ suta bita loka īṣanā tīnī। kehi kai mati inha kṛta na malīnī॥ 3 ॥

Desire is a worm, and the body is wood. Which steadfast person has remained free from this worm? Of the three longings—for sons, wealth, and worldly fame—whose mind has not been made impure by them?
