क्वापि याति च संशान्तदीपवत्साभिधानकः ।
चितः प्रशान्तरूपाया दीपिकायाः स्वभावतः ॥ ३६ ॥

kvāpi yāti ca saṃśāntadīpavatsābhidhānakaḥ |
citaḥ praśāntarūpāyā dīpikāyāḥ svabhāvataḥ || 36 ||

But no sooner doth the light of the tranquil intellect, appear in its brightness within the inward soul; than the flattering of the fickle spirit is put to flight, like the flickering of a lamp after it is extinguished.
