स्वभावाद्व्यतिरिक्तं तु न चित्तस्यास्ति चेतनम् ।
स्पन्दादृते यथा वायोरन्तः किं नाम चेत्यते ॥ १६ ॥

svabhāvādvyatiriktaṃ tu na cittasyāsti cetanam |
spandādṛte yathā vāyorantaḥ kiṃ nāma cetyate || 16 ||

The mind being repressed from its natural flight, can have no thought of any thing; and is lost in itself; as the natural heat of fire and motion of the wind being extinct, they are annihilated of themselves.
