Verse 5.64.35

आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मनात्मैवमुद्धरेत् ।
नात्मानमवलेपेन जन्मपङ्कार्णवे क्षिपेत् ॥ ३५ ॥

ātmaiva hyātmano bandhurātmanātmaivamuddharet |
nātmānamavalepena janmapaṅkārṇave kṣipet || 35 ||

It is the self that is the true friend to one's self, therefore support thyself upon thy self only; nor obscure the brightness of thy soul, under thy darkness of the bodily pride, to bury thy life in the slough of ignorance.
