Verse 4.34.12

तेषां यावदुदेत्यन्तर्ममेदमिति वासना ।
तावत्कोऽयमहं चेति विचाराद्यात्यसत्यताम् ॥ १२ ॥

teṣāṃ yāvadudetyantarmamedamiti vāsanā |
tāvatko'yamahaṃ ceti vicārādyātyasatyatām || 12 ||

For until they were to have the desire of having anything, and thinking it as "this is my own", so long were they insensible of their personal existence, such as "this is I, and that one is another";and consequently invincible by any.
