देवो नासौ सुरो रक्षो यक्षः किं किन्नरो जनः ।
आत्मैवाद्यविलासिन्या जगन्नाट्यं प्रनृत्यति ॥ ९२ ॥

devo nāsau suro rakṣo yakṣaḥ kiṃ kinnaro janaḥ |
ātmaivādyavilāsinyā jagannāṭyaṃ pranṛtyati || 92 ||

The soul is no god or demigod, nor either a Yaksha nor Raksha, nor even a Nara—man or Kinnara—manikin; it is by reason of its original delusion—maya, that it plays the part of a player on the stage of the world.
