आत्मसंवित्तिरूपं तु त्यक्त्वा देवार्चनं जनाः ।
कृत्रिमार्चासु ये सक्ताश्चिरं क्लेशं भजन्ति ते ॥ १२९ ॥

ātmasaṃvittirūpaṃ tu tyaktvā devārcanaṃ janāḥ |
kṛtrimārcāsu ye saktāściraṃ kleśaṃ bhajanti te || 129 ||

The soul is of the form of consciousness (and is to be worshipped as such), by forsaking the adoration of idols; Those that are devoted to any form of fictitious cult, are subject to endless misery.
