Verse 5.13.23

हेयोपादेयकलने क्षीणे यावन्न चेतसः ।
न तावत्समता भातिसाभ्रे व्योम्नीवचन्द्रिका ॥ २३ ॥

heyopādeyakalane kṣīṇe yāvanna cetasaḥ |
na tāvatsamatā bhātisābhre vyomnīvacandrikā || 23 ||

Until the fancy of the desirableness of one thing and dislike of the other, is effaced from the mind, it is as hard to have the good grace of equanimity, as it is difficult for the moonlight to pierce through the cloudy sky.
