Verse 50.7
रागाभिभूता न सुखं शयन्ति ।
कृतानुकारं प्रतिकर्तुकामा ।
नराः कृतज्ञा न सुखं शयन्ति ।
वैरप्रसंगी न सुखं शयन्ति ॥ ७ ॥
rāgābhibhūtā na sukhaṃ śayanti |
kṛtānukāraṃ pratikartukāmā |
narāḥ kṛtajñā na sukhaṃ śayanti |
vairaprasaṃgī na sukhaṃ śayanti || 7 ||
Those who are overcome by passion and are eager to retaliate do not lie down in comfort. Grateful men do not lie down in comfort; those who are addicted to vengefulness do not lie down in comfort. (7)
