देहोऽहमिति नो वेद्मि तेनास्मि चिरजीवितः ॥ २२ ॥

āharanviharaṃstiṣṭhannattiṣṭhannucchvasansvapan |
deho'hamiti no vedmi tenāsmi cirajīvitaḥ || 22 ||

Whether when I get or give away any thing, or when I walk or sit, or rise and breathe, or am asleep or awake; I never think myself as the gross body but its pure intelligence, and this made me diuturnal and durable for ever.
