श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
नेह चञ्चलताहीनं मनः क्वचन दृश्यते ।
चञ्चलत्वं मनोधर्मो वह्णेर्धर्मो यथोष्णता ॥ ५ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
neha cañcalatāhīnaṃ manaḥ kvacana dṛśyate |
cañcalatvaṃ manodharmo vahṇerdharmo yathoṣṇatā || 5 ||

Vasishtha replied:—We have never seen the motionless quiet of the mind; fleetness is the nature of the mind, as heat is that of fire.
