अवस्त्विदमिदं वस्तु यस्येति लुलितं मनः ।
तस्मिन्नोदेति समता शाखोट इव मञ्जरी ॥ २४ ॥

avastvidamidaṃ vastu yasyeti lulitaṃ manaḥ |
tasminnodeti samatā śākhoṭa iva mañjarī || 24 ||

The mind which considers one thing as some thing à propos, and another as nothing to the purpose (the one as desirable and the other worthless); is deprived of the blessing of indifference, as the brier sakota is despised, not standing with all its fruits and flowers.
