चित्तं पूर्वं पुरस्ताच्च चिद्देशं शान्तमित्यपि ।
सदसद्वा खलीनं मध्येऽस्मिन्किं तवोदितम् ॥ ४० ॥

cittaṃ pūrvaṃ purastācca ciddeśaṃ śāntamityapi |
sadasadvā khalīnaṃ madhye'sminkiṃ tavoditam || 40 ||

So the heart also is as quiet as the intellect, both at first and in the end; and remains immerged in itself, both when it exists in the body or not. What then if it heaves for a little while in the midst?
