Verse 4.56.38

यदीच्छसि स्थितिं राम तत्तामप्युत्तमां विदुः ।
अहो यन्न करोमीमं समग्रं जागतं भ्रमम् ॥ ३८ ॥

yadīcchasi sthitiṃ rāma tattāmapyuttamāṃ viduḥ |
aho yanna karomīmaṃ samagraṃ jāgataṃ bhramam || 38 ||

But if I do not fall to so great an error, as to have this high aspiration of yours, I am never liable to the passions of anger and enmity, and other violent emotions in this world.
