अर्जुन उवाच ।
वासनाविलये जीवो विलीनो भवति स्वयम् ।
यो हि यत्सत्तयोच्छूनस्तन्नाशात्स विलीयते ॥ ३९ ॥

arjuna uvāca |
vāsanāvilaye jīvo vilīno bhavati svayam |
yo hi yatsattayocchūnastannāśātsa vilīyate || 39 ||

Arjuna said:—But I ween that the living soul dies away, with the death of its desires; because the desire is the support of the soul, which must languish and droop down for want of a desire.
