Verse 6.23.6

निःश्वासवृक्षक्रकचाः सर्वदेहलताघुणाः ।
आधयो यं न भिन्दन्ति मृत्युस्तं न जिघांसति ॥ ६ ॥

niḥśvāsavṛkṣakrakacāḥ sarvadehalatāghuṇāḥ |
ādhayo yaṃ na bhindanti mṛtyustaṃ na jighāṃsati || 6 ||

Death will not destroy the man whose heart is not broken down by sorrows, whose breast is not sawed as a timber by the friction of his sighs, and whose body is not worsted by toil like a tree by canker worms.
