Verse 5.50.66

मत्तेक्षणं चैकतटोपवेशं विश्रान्तिसौख्येष्वसमर्थमुग्रम् ।
आलोकनोत्कं सुजनक्रमाल्लखण्डस्य चण्डं सुखदुःखगण्डम् ॥ ६६ ॥

mattekṣaṇaṃ caikataṭopaveśaṃ viśrāntisaukhyeṣvasamarthamugram |
ālokanotkaṃ sujanakramāllakhaṇḍasya caṇḍaṃ sukhaduḥkhagaṇḍam || 66 ||

The elephantine heart sits with its infuriate eyes, in the solitary recess of the body; and is equally fond of its ease as of its carnal gratification: it longs to look at the lotus bed of the learned, as also to meet a field of sugarcanes composed of fools and dunces.
