नाहं मांसं न चास्थीनि देहादन्यः परो ह्यहम् ।
इति निश्चयवानन्तः क्षीणाविद्य इहोच्यते ॥ ३१ ॥

nāhaṃ māṃsaṃ na cāsthīni dehādanyaḥ paro hyaham |
iti niścayavānantaḥ kṣīṇāvidya ihocyate || 31 ||

The thought that 'I am neither flesh nor bones, but some thing else than my body,' releases one from his bondage; and one having such assurance in him, is said to have weakened his avidya or ignorance.
