Verse 7.39.33

स्वभावसाधने मोक्षेऽभावोपशमरूपिणि ।
न धनान्युपकुर्वन्ति न मित्राणि न च क्रियाः ॥ ३३ ॥

svabhāvasādhane mokṣe'bhāvopaśamarūpiṇi |
na dhanānyupakurvanti na mitrāṇi na ca kriyāḥ || 33 ||

It is by restraining our natures, and mitigation of our wants, that it is possible for us to obtain our liberation here; or else no riches nor friends nor any of our endeavours, can serve to bring about the emancipation that is so eagerly sought by us.
