sukhanē māṭē sanyāsa līdhō, tyāṁ tō duḥkha bamaṇuṁ thayuṁ.

Literally: Renunciation was taken for the sake of happiness, but there the misery doubled.
What it means: Escaping a difficult situation only to end up in a much worse one.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: Out of the frying pan into the fire.
