Verse 7.129.7

देशकालक्रियाद्येतदेकता वासनैकता ।
तयोर्यदेव बलवत्तदेव जयति क्षणात् ॥ ७ ॥

deśakālakriyādyetadekatā vāsanaikatā |
tayoryadeva balavattadeva jayati kṣaṇāt || 7 ||

It is according to circumstances that the selfsame desire or object of a person, is modified in different forms; and whatever of these is greater in its intensity, the very same takes the precedence of others, and comes to pass in a short time.
