वाञ्छाकाले तुष्टये यत्तत्र वाञ्छैव कारणम् ।
तुष्टिस्त्वतुष्टिपर्यन्ता तस्माद्वाञ्छां परित्यज ॥ ४ ॥

vāñchākāle tuṣṭaye yattatra vāñchaiva kāraṇam |
tuṣṭistvatuṣṭiparyantā tasmādvāñchāṃ parityaja || 4 ||

Whatever is pleasant during its desire, has that desire only for the cause of its pleasantness: hence the pleasurableness of a thing lasting till its unpleasurableness is no real pleasure; wherefore this frail pleasure must be forsaken together with its temporary cause of desire by the wise.
