चित्तोपशान्तौ संशान्ताः शान्ताये भोगबन्धवः ।
न स्वभावपरिक्षीणाश्चित्तमेषां किलाकरः ॥ ५९ ॥

cittopaśāntau saṃśāntāḥ śāntāye bhogabandhavaḥ |
na svabhāvaparikṣīṇāścittameṣāṃ kilākaraḥ || 59 ||

Those who are saintly calm and quiet by the controul of their mind, and by suppression of the bonds (appetites) for enjoyments; but not having weakened (governed) their natures, have in their hearts a mine of evils.
