utthāpayāmi cidbhūmeḥ kūpo'ntaralatāmiva || 48 ||

The ego is the grass and all kinds of vegetables on earth; as also the moisture wherewith it grows them, like its thoughts in the ground of the intellect; in the same manner as herbs are grown in holes and wells by their moisture, i.e. The ego or soul is the pith and marrow of all substance.
