Verse 1.17.7

वेगं सरोद्धुमुदितो वात्ययेव जरत्तृणम् ।
नीतः कलुषया क्वापि तृष्णया चित्तचातकः ॥ ७ ॥

vegaṃ saroddhumudito vātyayeva jarattṛṇam |
nītaḥ kaluṣayā kvāpi tṛṣṇayā cittacātakaḥ || 7 ||

Our minds are driven by foul avarice from one place to another, as the dusty dry hays are borne away by the winds, and as the Chatakas are impelled by thirst to fly about.
