Verse 5.50.62

दुराशाक्षीरपानेन भोगानिलबलेन च ।
आस्थादानेन चारेण चित्ताहिर्याति पीनताम् ॥ ६२ ॥

durāśākṣīrapānena bhogānilabalena ca |
āsthādānena cāreṇa cittāhiryāti pīnatām || 62 ||

The heart like a snake, is big swollen with feeding on false hopes as air; and by breathing the empty air of passing delights and pleasures. It is pampered by drinking the liquor of fleeting hope, and moves about in the course of its endless expectations.
