इदमस्त्वथवा मास्तु चेतितं दुःखवृद्धये ।
अचेतितं सुखायान्तरचेतनमचेतनात् ॥ ९ ॥

idamastvathavā māstu cetitaṃ duḥkhavṛddhaye |
acetitaṃ sukhāyāntaracetanamacetanāt || 9 ||

Whether there be or not be all these visibles, they tend alike to our misery; it is our thoughtlessness of them alone that conduces to our happiness, wherefore it is better to remain insensible of them, by shutting our senses against them.
