यत्रात्मसंविदोऽच्छायाः संकल्पोत्थतया मताः ।
तत्रात्मनो विस्मरणं स्मरणं चित्तजन्मनः ॥ ७९ ॥

yatrātmasaṃvido'cchāyāḥ saṃkalpotthatayā matāḥ |
tatrātmano vismaraṇaṃ smaraṇaṃ cittajanmanaḥ || 79 ||

When the transparent and self-conscious soul, raises other figures of its own will; then the presence of the soul is forgotten, and hid under the grosser creations of the mind.
