एवमस्या मुधाभ्रान्तेः का सत्ता केव वासना ।
का वास्था का च नियतिः कावश्यंभावितोच्यताम् ॥ ७ ॥

evamasyā mudhābhrānteḥ kā sattā keva vāsanā |
kā vāsthā kā ca niyatiḥ kāvaśyaṃbhāvitocyatām || 7 ||

Such being the case, say what is the essence of this erroneous conception, and what may be our desires or reliance in it, and what can be the meaning either of destiny or necessity?
