Verse 6.94.41

शिखिध्वज उवाच ।
चित्तद्रुमस्य यद्बीजमहंभावश्च मे मलम् ।
तच्च त्यक्तुं न जानामि त्यक्तं त्यक्तमुपैति माम् ॥ ४१ ॥

śikhidhvaja uvāca |
cittadrumasya yadbījamahaṃbhāvaśca me malam |
tacca tyaktuṃ na jānāmi tyaktaṃ tyaktamupaiti mām || 41 ||

Sikhidvaja replied:—The sense of my egoism, which is the root of the tree of my mind, is the great foulness that attaches to me; I know not how to get rid of it, for however I try to shun it, the more it clings about me.
