Verse 7.38.44

निर्वासनस्य विरसस्य निरेषणस्य शास्त्रादृते क इव तत्त्वविनोदहेतुः ।
शास्त्रार्थसज्जनमतोऽप्यमलस्य तस्य संवेदनेष्वनभिसंधिमतः स्वरूपम् ॥ ४४ ॥

nirvāsanasya virasasya nireṣaṇasya śāstrādṛte ka iva tattvavinodahetuḥ |
śāstrārthasajjanamato'pyamalasya tasya saṃvedaneṣvanabhisaṃdhimataḥ svarūpam || 44 ||

The man that has no desire nor any object in view, and has no relish in carnal and sensual enjoyments; can have no other delight except in his inquiries after truth by the light of the sastras. He who has his mind purified by the teachings of the sastras and the precepts of holy men, finds the inscrutable truth shining vividly in his consciousness of it.
