चित्संवित्त्योच्यते जीवः संकल्पात्स मनो भवेत् ।
बुद्धिश्चित्तमहंकारो मायेत्याद्यभिधं ततः ॥ २१ ॥

citsaṃvittyocyate jīvaḥ saṃkalpātsa mano bhavet |
buddhiścittamahaṃkāro māyetyādyabhidhaṃ tataḥ || 21 ||

The intellect with its consciousness, constitutes the living soul, and that with the will forms the mind; its knowing power is the understanding, and its retentiveness is called its memory: its subjectivity of selfishness is styled egoism, and its error is called maya or delusion.
