श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
स्वसंकल्पवशान्मूढो मोहमेति न पण्डितः ।
अक्षये क्षयसंकल्पान्मुह्यते शिशुरेव हि ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
svasaṃkalpavaśānmūḍho mohameti na paṇḍitaḥ |
akṣaye kṣayasaṃkalpānmuhyate śiśureva hi || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—The ignorant are subject to errors caused by their false fancies, from which the wise are entirely free; and they by imagining and attributing perishable properties to the imperishable soul, beguile themselves like children, by taking their dolls for men.
