Verse 6.23.10

यन्त्रं तिलानां कठिनं राशिमुग्रमिवाकुलम् ।
यं पीडयति नानङ्गस्तं मृत्युर्न जिघांसति ॥ १० ॥

yantraṃ tilānāṃ kaṭhinaṃ rāśimugramivākulam |
yaṃ pīḍayati nānaṅgastaṃ mṛtyurna jighāṃsati || 10 ||

Death will not kill the person whose body is not inflamed by the fiery passion of love; which like the wild fire consumes the hoarded corn of good sense, and as a pair of sharp scissors rives the heart strings of reason.
