Verse 3.111.38

बालं पुत्रमिवोदारे मनः श्रेयसि योजयेत् ।
अक्षयं चानवं चेतःसिंहं संसृतिबृंहणम् ।
घ्नन्ति ये ते जयन्तीह निर्वाणपददायिनः ॥ ३८ ॥

bālaṃ putramivodāre manaḥ śreyasi yojayet |
akṣayaṃ cānavaṃ cetaḥsiṃhaṃ saṃsṛtibṛṃhaṇam |
ghnanti ye te jayantīha nirvāṇapadadāyinaḥ || 38 ||

Our minds are as inveterate and indomitable, as ferocious lions of the forest; and they are true victors, who have conquered these, and are thereby entitled to salvation.
