“Great rulers of men, even those who are learned, meet frustration and failure because of material lust. Driven by lust, these kings place great hope and faith in the dead lump of flesh called the body, even though the material frame is as fleeting as bubbles of foam on water.
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura
Gauḍīya
Translation
The lust of even intelligent kings, by which they put trust in the body which is as transient as bubbles in water, ends in failure.
By this lust (yena) kings put trust in this body (piṇḍe).
