आपातवैराग्यवतो मुमुक्षू -न्भवाब्धिपारं प्रतियातुमुद्यतान् ।आशाग्रहो मज्जयतेऽन्तरालेनिगृह्य कण्ठे विनिवर्त्य वेगात् ॥ ८१ ॥
In plain words
Seekers who carry only a passing, surface dispassion set out eagerly to cross the ocean of worldly existence — but the crocodile of craving grabs them by the throat midstream, drags them under, and violently hauls them back.
Close to the Sanskrit
Seekers of liberation who have only superficial dispassion, eager to cross to the far shore of the ocean of existence — the crocodile of desire drowns them midway, seizing them by the throat and forcibly turning them back.
