Verse 6.44.27

चित्तोपशमजं स्फारमवाच्यं वचसा सुखम् ।
क्षयातिशयनिर्मुक्तं नोदेति न च शाम्यति ॥ २७ ॥

cittopaśamajaṃ sphāramavācyaṃ vacasā sukham |
kṣayātiśayanirmuktaṃ nodeti na ca śāmyati || 27 ||

The inertness of the heart and mind is attended with a delight, which is felt in the inmost soul and cannot be uttered in words; it is an everlasting joy that has neither its rise nor fall, nor its increase or decrease.
