ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते। सङ्गात् संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते

dhyāyato viṣhayān puṁsaḥ saṅgas teṣhūpajāyate saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho ’bhijāyate

When a person dwells on the objects of sense, they create an attraction for them; this attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

When one thinks of objects, attachment to them arises; from attachment, desire is born; from desire, anger arises.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
