नाम्लानकट्व्यो नो तिक्ता न कषायाश्च काश्चन ।

citrairapi rasairdigdhā madhurā eva tāḥ kila || 55 ||

Things of different tastes, as the sour, bitter, acid, sharp and pungent, are useless in the service of the spirit; it is the calm and sweet composure of the soul, which is delectable to the holy spirit.
