Verse 7.93.70

धावन्ति विषयाँल्लक्ष्यमुन्मुक्ताश्चित्तसायकाः ।
स्पृशन्ति न गुणान्भूयः कृतघ्नाः सौहृदं यथा ॥ ७० ॥

dhāvanti viṣayāṃllakṣyamunmuktāścittasāyakāḥ |
spṛśanti na guṇānbhūyaḥ kṛtaghnāḥ sauhṛdaṃ yathā || 70 ||

The desires of our hearts run to their objects, with as much speed as the arrow's fly from the archer's bow; but they never return to their seat in the heart or bow string, as our ungrateful friends that forsake us in our adversity.
