yathābudho jalaṁ hitvā
praticchannaṁ tad-udbhavaiḥ
abhyeti mṛga-tṛṣṇāṁ vai
tadvat tvāhaṁ parāṅ-mukhaḥ
yathā — as; abudhaḥ — someone who is unintelligent; jalam — water; hitvā — overlooking; praticchannam — covered; tat-udbhavaiḥ — by the plants growing in it; abhyeti — approaches; mṛga-tṛṣṇām — a mirage; vai — indeed; tadvat — in that same way; tvā — You; aham — I; parāk-mukhaḥ — turned away.
Just as a fool overlooks a body of water covered by the vegetation growing in it and chases a mirage, so I have turned away from You.
