Verse 4.21.64

स्फटिकममननं यथा विशन्ति प्रकटतया न च रञ्जना विचित्रा ।
इह हि विमननं तथा विशन्तु प्रकटतया भुवनैषणा भवन्तम् ॥ ६४ ॥

sphaṭikamamananaṃ yathā viśanti prakaṭatayā na ca rañjanā vicitrā |
iha hi vimananaṃ tathā viśantu prakaṭatayā bhuvanaiṣaṇā bhavantam || 64 ||

Be on thy guard, as never to allow the reflections of your mind, to taint the clear crystal of thy soul; but remain unmindful of the visibles, and regardless of all worldly desires.
