शाम्यन्ति शुद्धिमायान्ति सौम्यास्तिष्ठन्ति सून्नते ।
अचञ्चले जलेऽतृष्णाः शरदीवाभ्रमालिकाः ॥ २२ ॥

śāmyanti śuddhimāyānti saumyāstiṣṭhanti sūnnate |
acañcale jale'tṛṣṇāḥ śaradīvābhramālikāḥ || 22 ||

All desires are at rest with the elevated; they are pure with the steady, and indifferent to the inert, like the body of light clouds in autumn.
