Verse 1.17.37

संसारनाटकनटी कार्यालयविहंगमी ।
मानसारण्यहरिणी स्मरसंगीतवल्लकी ॥ ३७ ॥

saṃsāranāṭakanaṭī kāryālayavihaṃgamī |
mānasāraṇyahariṇī smarasaṃgītavallakī || 37 ||

Greediness is as an actress in the stage of the world; she is as a bird flying out of the nest of our houses; as a deer running about in the desert of our hearts; and as a lute making us sing and dance at its tune.
