चित्तमात्रं हि पुरुषस्तस्मिन्नष्टे च नश्यति ।
स्थिते तिष्ठति चात्मायं घटे सति घटाम्बरम् ॥ ६ ॥

cittamātraṃ hi puruṣastasminnaṣṭe ca naśyati |
sthite tiṣṭhati cātmāyaṃ ghaṭe sati ghaṭāmbaram || 6 ||

The understanding only is the embodied soul purusha, which is lost upon the loss of the understanding; but the soul is said to last as long as there is understanding in the body, like the ghatambare or air in the pot lasts with the lasting of the pot, and vanishes upon the loss or breaking of the vessel.
