मज्जतोऽपि बहुज्ञस्य राम कर्मेन्द्रियभ्रमैः ।
असक्तमनसो नित्यं न किंचिदपि मज्जति ॥ ६९ ॥

majjato'pi bahujñasya rāma karmendriyabhramaiḥ |
asaktamanaso nityaṃ na kiṃcidapi majjati || 69 ||

The wise may fail in the action of their bodily organs, and falter in their speech also; but their strong and unconcerned minds never fail in their operations, nor despond under the pressure of outward circumstances.
