aṣṭāvakra uvāca |
matsyaḥ supto na nimiṣatyaṇḍaṃ jātaṃ na copati |
aśmano hṛdayaṃ nāsti nadī vegena vardhate || 26 ||

and what doth increase even in its own speed?' Ashtavakra said, 'It is a fish that doth not close its eye-lids, while sleeping; and it is an a egg that doth not move when produced; it is stone that hath no heart; and it is a river that increase in its own speed.'

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
