Verse 37.23
एवं च मे ददतो सर्वकालं भोगा च मे च सर्वा क्षिपिहन्ति ।
ततो अहं सुगतिं प्रव्रजिष्यं प्रहाय कामानि तथाधिकानि ॥ २३ ॥
evaṃ ca me dadato sarvakālaṃ bhogā ca me ca sarvā kṣipihanti |
tato ahaṃ sugatiṃ pravrajiṣyaṃ prahāya kāmāni tathādhikāni || 23 ||
As I thus give at all times, all my wealth will soon be spent. Hence I shall pass to a state of bliss, having cast away these inordinate desires of mine. (23)
