नातः परतरं किंचिन्मन्ये कुशलमात्मनः ।
सन्तो यदनुगम्यन्ते संत्यक्तसकलैषणाः ॥ ३८ ॥

nātaḥ parataraṃ kiṃcinmanye kuśalamātmanaḥ |
santo yadanugamyante saṃtyaktasakalaiṣaṇāḥ || 38 ||

Sir, We do not account any thing as more precious and more favourable unto us, than that the holy saints that have nothing to desire, should take pains to pay their kind visit to our humble cell.
