दुःखितोऽहं सुखाढ्योऽहमिति भ्रान्ति रघूद्वह ।
मृगतृष्णोपमां बुद्ध्वा त्यज सत्यं समाश्रय ॥ ६४ ॥

duḥkhito'haṃ sukhāḍhyo'hamiti bhrānti raghūdvaha |
mṛgatṛṣṇopamāṃ buddhvā tyaja satyaṃ samāśraya || 64 ||

The thought that 'I am happy or miserable,' is as false as the conception of water in the mirage:—and knowing it as such, give up your misconceptions of pleasure and pain, and place your reliance in the sole truth.
