Verse 5.13.14

अयमेवाहमित्यस्या निशाया उदिते क्षये ।
स्वयं सर्वगतः स्फारः स्वालोकः संप्रवर्तते ॥ १४ ॥

ayamevāhamityasyā niśāyā udite kṣaye |
svayaṃ sarvagataḥ sphāraḥ svālokaḥ saṃpravartate || 14 ||

The consciousness that this is I (i.e. one's self-consciousness), is as the shade of night, and is dispelled at the rise of the sun of intellect, when the Omnipresent light appears vividly to sight.
