सुखदोषदशादीर्घा संसारमरुमण्डली ।
जन्तोः शीतलतामेति शीतरश्मेः समप्रभा ॥ ५१ ॥

sukhadoṣadaśādīrghā saṃsāramarumaṇḍalī |
jantoḥ śītalatāmeti śītaraśmeḥ samaprabhā || 51 ||

Thirst after pleasure is a state of protracted disease, and this world is full of mirage (all parched and dry). It is equanimity alone that can cool this dryness as the moistening beams of the moon.
