आत्मनः सदृशीं लीलां जीवो हृद्वनमर्कटः ।
दीर्घमाकारमादाय निमेषाद्याति ह्रस्वताम् ॥ २९ ॥

ātmanaḥ sadṛśīṃ līlāṃ jīvo hṛdvanamarkaṭaḥ |
dīrghamākāramādāya nimeṣādyāti hrasvatām || 29 ||

The living soul also forgets the nature of the universal soul from which it is derived, and is transformed to a puny animalcule in the heart of man, where it plays its pranks like an ape in the woods.
