Verse 4.42.52

शुभाशुभप्रसरपराहताकृतौ ज्वलज्जरामरणविषादमूर्च्छिते ।
व्यथेह यस्य मनसि भो न जायते नराकृतिर्जगति स राम राक्षसः ॥ ५२ ॥

śubhāśubhaprasaraparāhatākṛtau jvalajjarāmaraṇaviṣādamūrcchite |
vyatheha yasya manasi bho na jāyate narākṛtirjagati sa rāma rākṣasaḥ || 52 ||

Rama! the man whose mind is not troubled in this world, with successive joy and grief, and the vicissitudes of decrepitude, disease and death, is no human being: but resemble a monstrous Rakshasa, although he may have the figure of a man on him.
