पराचः कामाननुयन्ति बालास्ते मृत्योर्यन्ति विततस्य पाशम् ।अथ धीरा अमृतत्वं विदित्वा ध्रुवमध्रुवेष्विह न प्रार्थयन्ते ॥ २ ॥
In plain words
The immature follow after outward-turned desires; they fall into death's wide-flung snare. But the wise, having known immortality as the one fixed thing, do not seek here, among the unstable, for what is stable.
