तन्वी चेतयते चेत्यं घना चिन्नाङ्ग चेतति ।
अल्पक्षीबः क्षोभमेति घनक्षीबो हि शाम्यति ॥ १३ ॥

tanvī cetayate cetyaṃ ghanā cinnāṅga cetati |
alpakṣībaḥ kṣobhameti ghanakṣībo hi śāmyati || 13 ||

It is the weak intellect that thinks of the thinkables, but the sound understanding ceases from all thoughts; as it is a slight intoxication that makes one rave and revel about, while deep drinking is dead to all excitements.
