CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 4.10.3

स ह व्याधिना अनशितुं दध्रे ।
तम् आचार्यजाया उवाच ब्रह्मचारिन्न् अशान ।
किं नु न अश्नासि इति ।
स ह उवाच बहव इमे ऽस्मिन् पुरुषे कामा नानात्यायाः ।
व्याधीभीः प्रतिपूर्णो ऽस्मि ।
न अस्।इष्यामि इति ॥

sa ha vyādhinā anaśituṃ dadhre ।
tam ācāryajāyā uvāca brahmacārinn aśāna ।
kiṃ nu na aśnāsi iti ।
sa ha uvāca bahava ime ’smin puruṣe kāmā nānātyāyāḥ ।
vyādhībhīḥ pratipūrṇo ’smi ।
na as।iṣyāmi iti ॥

The student from sorrow was not able to eat. Then the wife of the teacher said to him: 'Student, eat! Why do you not eat?' He said: 'There are many desires in this man here, which lose themselves in different directions. I am full of sorrows, and shall take no food.'
