Verse 4.32.44

तेषां क्षीरसमुद्राणां नूनं मूर्तौ स्थितो हरिः ।
भुक्तं भोक्तव्यमखिलं दृष्टा द्रष्टव्यदृष्टयः ॥ ४४ ॥

teṣāṃ kṣīrasamudrāṇāṃ nūnaṃ mūrtau sthito hariḥ |
bhuktaṃ bhoktavyamakhilaṃ dṛṣṭā draṣṭavyadṛṣṭayaḥ || 44 ||

The repeated desire of enjoying what has been enjoyed, and of seeing what has often been seen, is not the way to get rid of the world; but is the cause of repeated birth, for the same enjoyments.
