उपजीव चिरं तस्माच्छुद्धं तद्भागमैश्वरम् ।
जीवसीच्छसि हंसि त्वं वृथा यासि विवल्गसि ॥ ३८ ॥

upajīva ciraṃ tasmācchuddhaṃ tadbhāgamaiśvaram |
jīvasīcchasi haṃsi tvaṃ vṛthā yāsi vivalgasi || 38 ||

Therefore art thou dependant on the Supreme Spirit for thy movement; and it is in vain for thee to fain thyself as living or doing anything by thyself.
