वासनावत्त्वमेवास्य देहो नेतरयुक्तिजः ।
क्षीयते वासनात्यागे क्षीणे भवति तत्पदम् ॥ २२ ॥

vāsanāvattvamevāsya deho netarayuktijaḥ |
kṣīyate vāsanātyāge kṣīṇe bhavati tatpadam || 22 ||

The body is the production of one's desire, and has no other assignable cause to it; it weakens by the weakening of its desire, and being altogether weak and wasted, it becomes extinct in its final absorption in the god-head.
