Verse 7.22.18

ये परां दृष्टिमायाताः संसृतेः पारदर्शिनः ।
न ते कर्म प्रशंसन्ति कूपं नद्यां वसन्निव ॥ १८ ॥

ye parāṃ dṛṣṭimāyātāḥ saṃsṛteḥ pāradarśinaḥ |
na te karma praśaṃsanti kūpaṃ nadyāṃ vasanniva || 18 ||

They who have come to sight of the transcendent light, athwart the dizzy scenes of mortal life; are not constrained to the course of this world, as seafarers are not to be pent up in shallow and narrow pools and streams.
