मनो यत्र तु तत्राशास्तत्र दुःखसुखानि च ।
सदा संनिधिमायान्ति श्मशान इव वायसाः ॥ २३ ॥

mano yatra tu tatrāśāstatra duḥkhasukhāni ca |
sadā saṃnidhimāyānti śmaśāna iva vāyasāḥ || 23 ||

Whenever there is the action of the mind, it is invariably accompanied with the train of desires and the sense of pleasure and pain; and the feelings and passions are its concomitants, as the ravens are accompaniments of the burning ground.
