Verse 3.14.56

यच्चिच्चित्त्वेन कचनं स्वसंपाद्याभिधात्मकम् ।
स्वविकारैर्व्यवच्छेद्यं भिद्यते नो न विद्यते ॥ ५६ ॥

yacciccittvena kacanaṃ svasaṃpādyābhidhātmakam |
svavikārairvyavacchedyaṃ bhidyate no na vidyate || 56 ||

The intellect (chit), exhibiting itself as the mind (chitta), bears the name of the purpose it has to accomplish, which being temporary and changeable, is different from the chit and a nullity.
