संविदुच्छूनतां चित्तं विद्धि तेनेदमाततम् ।
अनर्थजालमालूनविशीर्णजनजीवकम् ॥ २५ ॥

saṃviducchūnatāṃ cittaṃ viddhi tenedamātatam |
anarthajālamālūnaviśīrṇajanajīvakam || 25 ||

The mind without its self-consciousness or conscience, is a barren waste; and the life of man with its knowledge of truth, is as a mazy path, beset with traps and snares of errors and dangers.
