Verse 7.42.38

लज्जां भयं विषादेर्ष्ये सुखं दुःखं जयेत्समम् ।
जगदादि शरीरादि नास्त्येवादौ कुतोऽद्य तत् ॥ ३८ ॥

lajjāṃ bhayaṃ viṣāderṣye sukhaṃ duḥkhaṃ jayetsamam |
jagadādi śarīrādi nāstyevādau kuto'dya tat || 38 ||

Equanimity overcomes the sense of shame, sorrow, fear and envy; as the conviction of the nihility of the world and all corporeal things, removes the possibility of their existence at any time.
