Verse 5.13.73

अयं सोऽहमिदं तन्म इति या कलनाविला ।
प्राणात्मतत्त्वयोस्तस्याः संज्ञा जीवेति कथ्यते ॥ ७३ ॥

ayaṃ so'hamidaṃ tanma iti yā kalanāvilā |
prāṇātmatattvayostasyāḥ saṃjñā jīveti kathyate || 73 ||

But when this pure consciousness is befouled by the false fancies of this and that, and that this is I and that is mine; then the soul and the vital principle, are both taken together to form a living being.
