<< Chapter 16 Verse 15

Simple

aneka-citta-vibhrāntā
moha-jāla-samāvṛtāḥ
prasaktāḥ kāma-bhogeṣu
patanti narake ’śucau

‘Tossed about by various fancies, meshed in the net of folly, steeped in the tastings of lust, (they) fall into foul infernum.’

Deluding themselves into the belief that without the help of an unseen Īśvara(=God), they are themselves capable of accomplishing everything, they are restlessly pitched about by such foolish thoughts as:- ‘Thus will I do,’ ‘And this will I do’ ‘ And that other will I do,’ and so on. And in this way are they caught in the trap of folly, and well steeped in the enjoyments of lust, they are in the meanwhile snatched away by death, and flung into a foul infernum.

>> Chapter 16 Verse 17
