काष्ठं विलासिनीं शैलं तृणमग्निं हिमं नभः ।
समं सर्वत्र पश्यामि तेन जीवाम्यनामयः ॥ १७ ॥

kāṣṭhaṃ vilāsinīṃ śailaṃ tṛṇamagniṃ himaṃ nabhaḥ |
samaṃ sarvatra paśyāmi tena jīvāmyanāmayaḥ || 17 ||

I see all things in an equal light, whether it be a beauty or a spectre, a piece of wood or stone, a straw or a rock, or whether it is the air, water or fire, and it is this equanimity of mine that has made me sane and sound in every state of life.
