Verse 5.29.43

इमा दृश्यदृशो राम नानाकारविकारदाः ।
नेह कान्ततया ज्ञेया दूराच्छैलशिला इव ॥ ४३ ॥

imā dṛśyadṛśo rāma nānākāravikāradāḥ |
neha kāntatayā jñeyā dūrācchailaśilā iva || 43 ||

These visible sights, O Rama! are as multifarious as they are temptations to the soul; they appear as even and charming as a distant mountain appears to view; but it proves to be rough and rugged as you approach to it.
