औष्ण्येन्दौ शीतले भानौ मृगतृष्णाजले तथा ।
यथा न भावयस्यास्थामेवं भावय मा स्थितौ ॥ २३ ॥

auṣṇyendau śītale bhānau mṛgatṛṣṇājale tathā |
yathā na bhāvayasyāsthāmevaṃ bhāvaya mā sthitau || 23 ||

Never place your reliance on anything of this world, with that fond desire, as the heated man looks to the moon, the cold-stricken to the sun, and the thirsty doth to the water in the mirage.
