As a person, O king, who has to travel a long distance, is sometimes obliged to halt for being fatigued so, O Bharata, they that are of little understanding traveling along the long way of life, have to make frequent halts in the shape of repeated births. The wise are, however, freed from that obligation.
यथा तु पुरुषो राजन् दीर्घमध्वानमास्थितः। क्वचित् क्वचिच्छ्रमाच्छ्रान्तः कुरुते वासमेव वा॥ एवं संसारपर्याये गर्भवासेषु भारत। कुर्वन्ति दुर्बुधा वासं मुच्यन्ते तत्र पण्डिताः॥
