तांश्चैव हं जानिय एवरूपान् न चीर्णचर्याः पुरिमासु जातिषु ।
अध्योषिताः कामगुणेषु सक्तास्तृष्णाय संमूर्छित मोहचित्ताः ॥ ६३ ॥

tāṃścaiva haṃ jāniya evarūpān na cīrṇacaryāḥ purimāsu jātiṣu |
adhyoṣitāḥ kāmaguṇeṣu saktāstṛṣṇāya saṃmūrchita mohacittāḥ || 63 ||

And considering them to be such, and that they have not accomplished their course of duty in previous existences, (I see how) they are attached and devoted to sensual pleasures, infatuated by desire and blind with delusion.
