Verse 6.43.17

इति चिच्चक्रचाञ्चल्ये चिन्मये जगदम्बुधौ ।
तरङ्गजाले चाम्भोधौ कः क्रमो हर्षशोकयोः ॥ १७ ॥

iti ciccakracāñcalye cinmaye jagadambudhau |
taraṅgajāle cāmbhodhau kaḥ kramo harṣaśokayoḥ || 17 ||

What cause of joy or grief is there in the vicissitudes of things in the world, which are occasioned by the revolutions of the mind on the pivot of the intellect; and resemble the whirling waters of the sea, caused by an eddy or vortex in it.
