Sanskrit Text

यमस्य वशमायान्ति काममूढाः पुनः पुनः अन्धनेत्रा यथैवान्धा नीयमानाः स्वकर्मभिः

English Translation

O son of Vichitravirya, men are surrounded with joy and wrath and so they are entangled in several sorts of trap. Those, who are not satisfied with their own wealth and those fools who act by desire, again and again come under the influence of the god of death in consequence of their own acts like those of blind eyes (falling again and again into pits) when led by the blind.
