शेषस्तु चेतनो जीवः स चेच्चेत्येन चेतति ।
अन्येन बोध्यमानोऽसौ नात्मतत्त्ववपुर्भवेत् ॥ १६ ॥

śeṣastu cetano jīvaḥ sa ceccetyena cetati |
anyena bodhyamāno'sau nātmatattvavapurbhavet || 16 ||

I see at last my intelligent living soul, reflecting on the intelligibles, thence called its intelligence. But this intelligent principle being roused (to its action of thinking) by others (the intelligibles), does not come under the category (padartha) of the soul—atma.
