सत्त्वमेकं सुखं मन्ये न रजो न च वा तमः ।
चलदुच्चवनानीव विकीर्णाङ्गारवर्षणः ॥ ५६ ॥

sattvamekaṃ sukhaṃ manye na rajo na ca vā tamaḥ |
caladuccavanānīva vikīrṇāṅgāravarṣaṇaḥ || 56 ||

The property of goodness (sattwa) alone is true happiness, and neither rajas nor ostentation or passion. Then the fiery clouds moved aloft as a moving forest, ashed showers of vivid flame.
