क्षयित्वात्सर्वभावानां स्वर्गमानुष्ययोर्द्वयोः ।
सुखं नास्त्येव सलिलं मृगतृष्णास्विवैतयोः ॥ ४४ ॥

kṣayitvātsarvabhāvānāṃ svargamānuṣyayordvayoḥ |
sukhaṃ nāstyeva salilaṃ mṛgatṛṣṇāsvivaitayoḥ || 44 ||

They have given up all thoughts both of humanity and heaven (i. e. of both worlds), which are devoid of true felicity as the mirage is void of water.
