अद्य क्षीणा मनोराज्ये नानानुभवनात्मनि ॥ २१ ॥

kṣaṇenaiva tathaivemau bhuvisthāviti viddhi he |
adya kṣīṇā manorājye nānānubhavanātmani || 21 ||

So the earthly mortals seem to be born and die away every moment, as the chargeful thoughts of the all-engrossing mind, are ever rising and subsiding in it.
