What can death do in this world to a person, whose habits of life are not led by desire. Death is to him like a tiger made of straw. Therefore, for the destruction of the cause of the life (existence) of desire, (which means ignorance) every wish is to be disregarded; and the slightest one is not to be given a place in the mind even.
अमूढवृत्तेः पुरुषस्येह कुर्यात् किं वै मृत्युस्तार्ण इवास्य व्याघ्रः। नाधीयीत निर्गुदनिवास्य चायुः॥
