Verse 6.80.4

भोगैरभुक्तैस्तुष्टोऽहमिति भोगान्जहाति यः ।
रुषेवासनशय्यादीन्स कथं किल शोभते ॥ ४ ॥

bhogairabhuktaistuṣṭo'hamiti bhogānjahāti yaḥ |
ruṣevāsanaśayyādīnsa kathaṃ kila śobhate || 4 ||

Whoso abandons the enjoyments of life, by saying he can do without them; is like an angry man refraining from his food and rest for a while, and then weakens himself in his hunger and restlessness, and can never retain the gracefulness of his person.
