यथा कटककेयूरैर्भेदो हेम्नो विलक्षणः ।
तथात्मनश्चितो रूपं भावयन्त्याः स्वमांशिकम् ॥ १८ ॥

yathā kaṭakakeyūrairbhedo hemno vilakṣaṇaḥ |
tathātmanaścito rūpaṃ bhāvayantyāḥ svamāṃśikam || 18 ||

As there is no material difference of the armlet and bracelet, from their matter of the same gold; so is the intellect and the soul the one and same thing. It is the thought that makes the difference in their different modes.
