इदं रम्यमिदं नेति बीजं ते दुःखसंततेः ।
तस्मिन्साम्याग्निना दग्धे दुःखस्यावसरः कुतः ॥ ८ ॥

idaṃ ramyamidaṃ neti bījaṃ te duḥkhasaṃtateḥ |
tasminsāmyāgninā dagdhe duḥkhasyāvasaraḥ kutaḥ || 8 ||

The idea that this is pleasurable and the other is painful, being the sole cause of all pains and anxiety, it is the consuming of these feelings by the fire of our indifference to them, that prevents the access of pain and affliction unto us.
