Verse 5.1.16

मुनिरन्तरयांचक्रे स्वां वाचमथ संसदि ।
जितसारो गुणः केन महता समुदीर्यते ॥ १६ ॥

munirantarayāṃcakre svāṃ vācamatha saṃsadi |
jitasāro guṇaḥ kena mahatā samudīryate || 16 ||

The muni stopped his breath and ceased to give utterance to his speech; because it is in vain to speak where it is not heeded or listened to.
