Verse 5.33.12

न रेमे लोकचर्यासु शास्त्रार्थकथनादृते ।
न जायते रतिस्तस्य दृश्ये स्थल इवाजिनी ॥ १२ ॥

na reme lokacaryāsu śāstrārthakathanādṛte |
na jāyate ratistasya dṛśye sthala ivājinī || 12 ||

He did not walk in the ways of the ungodly, nor spent his time in aught but religious discourses. His mind did not dwell on visible objects, as the lotus never grows on dry land.
