Bhagavad Gita 3.38

Karma Yoga

धूमेनाव्रियते वह्निर्यथादर्शो मलेन च | यथोल्बेनावृतो गर्भस्तथा तेनेदमावृतम् ||

dhūmenāvriyate vahnir yathādarśo malena cha yatholbenāvṛito garbhas tathā tenedam āvṛitam

English

As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, similarly, the living entity is covered by different degrees of this lust.

हिन्दी

जिस प्रकार धुएँ से अग्नि, दर्पण को मैल से और गर्भ को जरायु (झिल्ली) से ढका जाता है, उसी प्रकार इस (काम) से यह (ज्ञान) ढका जाता है।
