Truly understanding qualities by the help of hundreds of qualities and faults by hundreds of faults, and various causes by hundreds of causes, determining that the world is like the froth of water, covered by hundreds of illusions flowing from Vishnu, like a painted place, and as unsubstantial as a reed, seeing it to be like a dark pit, or as unreal as bubbles of water, for the years that compose its age are as fleeting as bubbles, seeing it exposed to immediate destruction, bereft of happiness, having certain ruin for its end and from which it can never escape, sunk in Darkness and Ignorance and utterly helpless like an elephant sunk in mire,-noting all this-this the Sankhyas, O king, gifted with great wisdom, renouncing all affection arising from one's relations towards one's children, by the help, O king, of that extensive and all embracing knowledge which their system advocates, and cutting off quickly, with the weapon of knowledge and the bludgeon of penances, 0 Bharata, all inauspicious smell begotten of Darkness and all scents of a like nature originating from Ignorance and all auspicious scents arising from Goodness and all pleasures of the touch born of the same three qualities and attaching to the body, indeed, O Bharata, aided by the Yoga of knowledge, these Yatis crowned with success,-Cross the Ocean of life. That dreadful Ocean has sorrow for its waters. Anxiety and grief from its deep lakes. Disease and death are its huge alligators. The great fears that strike the heart at every step are its huge snakes.
