Verse 5.50.76

भ्रान्तं वनान्तेषु दिगन्तरेषु फलार्थिनं चञ्चलमाकुलाङ्गम् ।
जन्मावनेर्जन्ममहिं प्रयातं संसारबन्धं जनतां हसन्तम् ॥ ७६ ॥

bhrāntaṃ vanānteṣu digantareṣu phalārthinaṃ cañcalamākulāṅgam |
janmāvanerjanmamahiṃ prayātaṃ saṃsārabandhaṃ janatāṃ hasantam || 76 ||

Again the apish mind is wandering through the woods on all sides, and passing fastly beyond the limits of its natal horizon in search of fruits; it outruns the bounds of its native land and country, and thus being bound to nowhere, he derides at the multitude, that are bound to their homely toil, and confined in their native clime and soil.
