असच्छरीरं नास्तीदं चिच्छुद्धैवात्मनि स्थिता ।
अहं नाम न चान्योऽस्ति निश्चित्यैवासुरा ययुः ॥ १४ ॥

asaccharīraṃ nāstīdaṃ cicchuddhaivātmani sthitā |
ahaṃ nāma na cānyo'sti niścityaivāsurā yayuḥ || 14 ||

They rushed out with a firm conviction that, the unsubstantial body is nothing, and the intellect is lodged in the pure soul; and that there is nothing which we call as I or another.
