Verse 6.3.21

निःस्नेहदीपवच्छान्तो यस्यान्तर्वासनाभरः ।
तेन चित्रकृतेनेव जितं ज्ञेनाविकारिणा ॥ २१ ॥

niḥsnehadīpavacchānto yasyāntarvāsanābharaḥ |
tena citrakṛteneva jitaṃ jñenāvikāriṇā || 21 ||

He who has extinguished the ardent desire of his mind, like the flame of an oilless lamp; and who remains unshaken under all circumstances, stands as the image of a mighty conqueror of his enemies in painting or statue.
