कस्यापि तात धन्यस्य लोकचेष्टावलोकनात्, जीवितेच्छा बुभुक्षा च बुभुत्सोपशमं गताः। ॥2॥

kasyāpi tāta dhanyasya loka-ceṣṭāvalokanāt, jīvitecchā bubhukṣā ca bubhutsopaśamaṁ gatāḥ. (2)

This verse highlights that it is very uncommon for someone to lose their strong desires for life, enjoyment, and knowledge after seeing how people behave. Such a person is truly fortunate and wise.
