तन्मनः शवसंकाशमचिदुत्तिष्ठते कथम् ॥ ५० ॥

jaḍaṃ yatkila nirhīnaṃ citā dīpikayaujasā |
tanmanaḥ śavasaṃkāśamaciduttiṣṭhate katham || 50 ||

The mind which is moved and lighted, by the heat and light of the lamp of the intellect; becomes extinct without its physical force, and grows as motionless as a dead body.
