स्वभावेतरनामासौ स्वसंकल्पमयात्मकः ।
कश्चित्कदाचिद्भवति स्वभावेनैव नान्यथा ॥ २६ ॥

svabhāvetaranāmāsau svasaṃkalpamayātmakaḥ |
kaścitkadācidbhavati svabhāvenaiva nānyathā || 26 ||

The living soul which is full of its desires, is led by two different principles of action through life; the one is its natural tendency to some particular action, and the other is the direction of some particular law or other. It is however the natural propensity of one, that gets the better of the other.
