Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 87
अतः संसारं विचारयतां शोकोऽयमज्ञानस्यैव प्रपञ्चः । पश्य ।
अज्ञानं कारणं न स्याद्वियोगो यदि कारणम् ।
शोको दिनेषु गच्छत्सु वर्धतामपयाति किम् ॥
For this reason, to those who take a right view (or understand the real nature) of this worldly existence, such sorrow is but the outcome (lit. expansion) of ignorance. Behold! If ignorance is not the cause, but separation is the cause, of sorrow, then as days pass on, it ought to increase, how does it abate?
