तावत्संमोहवेतालो देही यावदनात्मवान् ।
आत्मज्ञ एव संयुक्तश्चेतनेनेति तद्विदः ॥ ५३ ॥

tāvatsaṃmohavetālo dehī yāvadanātmavān |
ātmajña eva saṃyuktaścetaneneti tadvidaḥ || 53 ||

So long is an embodied being said to be a devil of darkness, as he is ignorant of spiritual knowledge, but no sooner is he acquainted with his soul, and united with his self in his intellection, than he is recognized as a spiritual being.
