स्मृत्वा वियोगजं दुःखं त्यज स्नेहं प्रिये जने। अतिस्नेहपरिष्वङ्गाद् वर्तिरार्दापि दह्यते॥
smṛtvā viyogajaṃ duḥkhaṃ tyaja snehaṃ priye jane| atisnehapariṣvaṅgād vartirārdāpi dahyate||
English Meaning
Remembering the grief consequent on separation do you forsake your attachment to your dear one. Out of an excess of oil even the wick burn itself.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
