निराधारा ग्रहव्यग्राः मूढाः संसारपोषकाः, एतस्यानर्थमूलस्य मूलच्छेदः कृतो बुधैः। ॥36॥

nirādhārā graha-vyagrāḥ mūḍhāḥ saṁsārapoṣakāḥ, etasyānartha-mūlasya mūlacchedaḥ kṛto budhaiḥ. (36)

This verse suggests that those who are unwise cling to worldly attachments without understanding, while the wise seek to understand and remove the deeper causes of suffering in life. True freedom comes from looking beyond the surface of the world.
