Verse 1.19.14

मनः प्रकृत्यैव चलं बाल्यं च चलतां वरम् ।
तयोः संश्लिष्यतोस्त्राता क इवान्तः कुचापले ॥ १४ ॥

manaḥ prakṛtyaiva calaṃ bālyaṃ ca calatāṃ varam |
tayoḥ saṃśliṣyatostrātā ka ivāntaḥ kucāpale || 14 ||

The mind is naturally unsteady, and so is boyhood also. Say what can save us from that state of life, when both these vagrant things combine to our destruction.
