देहे यावदहंभावो दृश्येऽस्मिन्यावदात्मना ।
यावन्ममेदमित्यास्था तावच्चित्तादिविभ्रमः ॥ ३१ ॥

dehe yāvadahaṃbhāvo dṛśye'sminyāvadātmanā |
yāvanmamedamityāsthā tāvaccittādivibhramaḥ || 31 ||

The error of the mind and its perceptibles, continues as long as one believes his personality to consist in his body; and understands the phenomenal world as a reality; and has the selfishness to think such and such things to be his.
