Verse 7.177.44

एषा च सिद्धेह हि वासनेति सा बोधसत्तैव निरन्तरैका ।
नानात्वनानारहितैव भाति स्वप्ने चिदेवेह पुरादिरूपा ॥ ४४ ॥

eṣā ca siddheha hi vāsaneti sā bodhasattaiva nirantaraikā |
nānātvanānārahitaiva bhāti svapne cideveha purādirūpā || 44 ||

It being proved, that the want of want is our best bliss below; the sensation of want or desire, must be the source of perpetual misery to man; and though our desires are many, yet the feeling of it is one and the same, and betrays the prurient mind, as the various dreams by night, disclose the cupidinous nature of the soul.
