Verse 7.6.4

श्रीमत्यपि पतन्त्याशु शातनाः कातरादयः ।
गुणवत्युग्रपत्रेऽपि तुहिनानीव पङ्कजे ॥ ४ ॥

śrīmatyapi patantyāśu śātanāḥ kātarādayaḥ |
guṇavatyugrapatre'pi tuhinānīva paṅkaje || 4 ||

Many a time doth misfortune overtake the fortunate, and bitter sorrows betide the wise and learned; just as the hoar-frost falls on the tender leaves of lotuses, and discolours them at the end.
