सर्वस्यैव हिं सर्वस्य साधोर्रांपे विवेकिनः ।
निमित्तपूर्वं वैराग्यं जायते राम राजसम् ॥ २१ ॥

sarvasyaiva hiṃ sarvasya sādhorrāṃpe vivekinaḥ |
nimittapūrvaṃ vairāgyaṃ jāyate rāma rājasam || 21 ||

There is another kind of cold-heartedness, O Rama, which is caused (by some sorrow) in the minds of the virtuous and reasonable men, that is styled their casual indifference.
