Ramayana 2.64.74
चित्तनाशाद्विपद्यन्ते सर्वाण्येन्द्रियाणि मे।क्षीणस्नेहस्य दीपस्य संसक्ता रश्मयो यथा।।।।
cittanāśād vipadyante sarvāṇīndriyāṇi me | kṣīṇasnehasya dīpasya saṃsaktā raśmayo yathā ||
With the collapse of my mind, all my senses are failing—like the rays of a lamp that fade together when its oil is exhausted.
