श्रीराम उवाच ।
नष्टं कस्य मनो ब्रह्मन्नष्टं वा कीदृशं भवेत् ।
कीदृशश्चास्य नाशः स्यात्सत्ता नाशस्य कीदृशी ॥ १० ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
naṣṭaṃ kasya mano brahmannaṣṭaṃ vā kīdṛśaṃ bhavet |
kīdṛśaścāsya nāśaḥ syātsattā nāśasya kīdṛśī || 10 ||

Rama asked said:—Who is it, Sir, whose mind is extinct, and what is the manner of this extinction; say also how its extinction is brought on, and what is the nature of its annihilation?
