Verse 7.157.36

नित्यं विचारणपरोऽथ भवन्स सिन्धुः सत्सङ्गमेन पदमाप्स्यति पावनं सः ।
तद्यत्र पत्रमिव वातविधूयमानं नो वस्तुतां व्रजति काचन नाम लक्ष्मीः ॥ ३६ ॥

nityaṃ vicāraṇaparo'tha bhavansa sindhuḥ satsaṅgamena padamāpsyati pāvanaṃ saḥ |
tadyatra patramiva vātavidhūyamānaṃ no vastutāṃ vrajati kācana nāma lakṣmīḥ || 36 ||

It was thus by means of his continued inquiries into truth, and his continual association with the wise and good, that the soul of Sindhu attained a holy sanctity in comparison with which, the prosperity of Brahma even, is as a straw or the dried leaf of a withered tree, which the winds of the sky toss about to and fro.
