मनो हि जीवाज्जीवाख्यं निश्चयैकतया नु धीः ।
अहङ्कारोऽभिमन्तृत्वान्नानाता स्वयमेव हि ॥ ४८ ॥

mano hi jīvājjīvākhyaṃ niścayaikatayā nu dhīḥ |
ahaṅkāro'bhimantṛtvānnānātā svayameva hi || 48 ||

The mind is called life, for its having the living principle in it;and the same is one and identic with the understanding. It becomes egoism by its consciousness, and so the same mind passes under various designations, according to its different functions.
