Verse 5.77.39

शुभाभावात्सुखाभावे स्थितिं याते विलक्षणाः ।
कीदृश्यः कथमायाताः क्व वा ता दुःखसंविदः ॥ ३९ ॥

śubhābhāvātsukhābhāve sthitiṃ yāte vilakṣaṇāḥ |
kīdṛśyaḥ kathamāyātāḥ kva vā tā duḥkhasaṃvidaḥ || 39 ||

It is the loss of some good, that is attended with sorrow to the sufferer; but what sorrow can assail the self-liberated man, who sees nothing as positive good in the ever-changing state of things herein?
