अहंकारस्तृतीयोऽसौ लौकिकस्तुच्छ एव सः ।
वर्ज्य एव दुरात्मासौ शत्रुरेव परः स्मृतः ॥ ५४ ॥

ahaṃkārastṛtīyo'sau laukikastuccha eva saḥ |
varjya eva durātmāsau śatrureva paraḥ smṛtaḥ || 54 ||

This third and last kind, forms the popular belief of mankind, who take their bodies as parts of themselves; it is the basest form of egoism, and must be forsaken in the same manner, as we shun our inveterate enemies.
