Verse 5.52.28

यावत्तानवमायातं शुद्धं चित्तं विचारतः ।
तावत्तत्क्षीणमेवाहं मन्ये शारदमेघवत् ॥ २८ ॥

yāvattānavamāyātaṃ śuddhaṃ cittaṃ vicārataḥ |
tāvattatkṣīṇamevāhaṃ manye śāradameghavat || 28 ||

As the heart becomes lighter and purer by means of the mind's act of reasoning; so I ween its desires to grow weaker and thinner, like the light and fleeting clouds of autumn.
