एतेषु नादरः कार्यः सता नैवावधीरणम् ।
पदार्थमात्रताविष्टास्तिष्ठन्त्वेते यथासुखम् ॥ ६ ॥

eteṣu nādaraḥ kāryaḥ satā naivāvadhīraṇam |
padārthamātratāviṣṭāstiṣṭhantvete yathāsukham || 6 ||

It is not for good and Godly men either to pamper or famish their bodies, or quicken or weaken their senses; but to allow them to be employed with their objects at their own option.
