जालेन सरसि मीना हिंस्रेरेणा वने च वागुरया ।
संसारे भूतसृजा नेहेन नराश्च बध्यन्ते ॥
jālena sarasi mīnā hiṁsrair eṇā vane ca vāgurayā |
saṁsāre bhūtasṛjā snehena narāś ca badhyante ||
(Kāvyālaṅkāra: 8.104)
“Fish are caught by cruel persons in a lake with a net as are deer in a forest with traps; men [are caught] by the emanator of living beings in saṁsāra with affection.”
