Sanskrit Original
असंतोषस्य नास्त्यन्तस्तुष्टिस्तु परमं सुखम्। न शोचन्ति गताध्वानः पश्यन्तः परमां गतिम्॥ न विषादे मनः कार्यं विषादो विषमुत्तमम्। मारयत्यकृतप्रज्ञं बालं क्रुद्ध इवोरगः॥

There is not end to to discontent and contentment is the highest happiness. The man who has attained the highest state does not grieve. They are always conscious of the final destruction of all creatures. One must not give way to discontent, for it is like a virulently poisonous snake. It kills persons of undeveloped intelligence just as a child is killed by an enraged snake.
