Verse 1.16.27

सकलगुणजयाशा यत्र बद्धा महद्भिस्तमरिमिह विजेतुं चित्तमभ्युत्थितोऽहम् ।
विगतरतितयान्तर्नाभिनन्दामि लक्ष्मीं जडमलिनविलासां मेघलेखामिवेन्दुः ॥ २७ ॥

sakalaguṇajayāśā yatra baddhā mahadbhistamarimiha vijetuṃ cittamabhyutthito'ham |
vigataratitayāntarnābhinandāmi lakṣmīṃ jaḍamalinavilāsāṃ meghalekhāmivenduḥ || 27 ||

I am ready to subdue my mind which is my greatest enemy in this world, for the purpose of mastering all the virtues, which the learned say depend upon it. My want of desires has made me averse to wealth and the gross pleasures it yields, which are as tints of clouds tainting the (clear disk of the) moon.
