श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
मलिनं हि मनोऽवीर्यं न मिथः श्लेषमर्हति ।
अयोऽयसि च संतप्ते शुद्धे तप्तं तु लीयते ॥ २९ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
malinaṃ hi mano'vīryaṃ na mithaḥ śleṣamarhati |
ayo'yasi ca saṃtapte śuddhe taptaṃ tu līyate || 29 ||

Vasishtha replied:—But the sullied mind cannot easily unite with the object of its thought, as a dirty and cold piece of iron, cannot join with a pure red-hot one, unless it is heated and purified from its dross.
