क्षेपणोन्मुक्तपाषाण इव तत्रान्यथा क्षयि ।
यत्र पुष्पं तत्र गन्धो यत्राग्निस्तत्र सोष्णता ॥ ४९ ॥

kṣepaṇonmuktapāṣāṇa iva tatrānyathā kṣayi |
yatra puṣpaṃ tatra gandho yatrāgnistatra soṣṇatā || 49 ||

As the stone flung from a fling is lost forever, so the thoughts of the mind are dispersed in the air, unless they are fixed upon some object. The thoughts are accompaniments of the mind and vitality, as fragrance is attendant on flowers and heat upon fire.
