3.34.37

indriyāṇāṃ ca pañcānāṃ manaso hṛdayasya ca |
viṣaye vartamānānāṃ yā prītirupajāyate |
sa kāma iti me buddhiḥ karmaṇāṃ phalamuttamam || 37 ||

At their loss or disappearance occasioned by decrepitude or death, ariseth what is called distress. That distress, O king, hath now overtaken us. The joy that ariseth from the five senses, the intellect and the heart, being directed to the objects proper to each, is called pleasure. That pleasure, O king, is, as I think, one of the best fruits of our actions.

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