चिद्वपुः स्वयमेतेन ह्येकतामेति जीवताम् ।
चित्तत्त्वस्यावभासेन जीवो जीवति तन्मयः ॥ २३ ॥

cidvapuḥ svayametena hyekatāmeti jīvatām |
cittattvasyāvabhāsena jīvo jīvati tanmayaḥ || 23 ||

The intellectual form being then assimilated with the elemental (puryashtaka) body, receives its vital or mortal life and living soul, which lives by reflection of the essence of the supreme intellect.
