अर्धशान्तो न शान्तोऽसौ समेत्यर्थतया पुनः ।
उदेत्येकपिशाचान्ते पिशाचोऽन्यो ह्यधीमतः ॥ १४ ॥

ardhaśānto na śānto'sau sametyarthatayā punaḥ |
udetyekapiśācānte piśāco'nyo hyadhīmataḥ || 14 ||

One party, who is at peace with himself (by his abandonment of the world), can not be wholly at rest without divine knowledge; as the ghost of his inward ignorance, may overtake him after his getting rid of the devil of worldliness.
