Verse 6.29.23

तथा संकल्पपुरुषे क्षते क्षीणे न तत्क्षतिः ।
यथा मनोराज्यमये क्षते क्षीणे न तत्क्षतिः ॥ २३ ॥

tathā saṃkalpapuruṣe kṣate kṣīṇe na tatkṣatiḥ |
yathā manorājyamaye kṣate kṣīṇe na tatkṣatiḥ || 23 ||

As the destruction of the portrait of a man, does no harm to his person; and as the loss of a fancied city is no loss to the city, so the loss of the much desired body of any one, is no loss to his personality in any wise.
