Verse 4.59.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
अन्नपानाङ्गनासङ्गादृते नास्तीह किंचन ।
शुभमस्त्विति संवादि महान्किमिव वाञ्छतु ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
annapānāṅganāsaṅgādṛte nāstīha kiṃcana |
śubhamastviti saṃvādi mahānkimiva vāñchatu || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—There is nothing in this world except the gratification of the carnal appetites, and the pleasure of eating, drinking and concupiscence with the vulgar;but it is the lasting good of men, which is desired by the good and great.
