सरसं नीरसं चैव सुरतं विरतं तथा ।
यः पश्यति समं सौम्यो महाभोक्ता स उच्यते ॥ २९ ॥

sarasaṃ nīrasaṃ caiva surataṃ virataṃ tathā |
yaḥ paśyati samaṃ saumyo mahābhoktā sa ucyate || 29 ||

He who tastes the tasteful and juicy, as also the untasteful and dry food with equal zest, and beholds the pleasant as well as unpleasant things with equal delight, is the man that is ever gratified in himself.
