Verse 6.113.14

यथैव मिथ्यापुरुषो रक्षन्व्योमात्मशङ्कया ।
घटाकाशादिषु क्लिष्ट एवं मा क्लेशवान्भव ॥ १४ ॥

yathaiva mithyāpuruṣo rakṣanvyomātmaśaṅkayā |
ghaṭākāśādiṣu kliṣṭa evaṃ mā kleśavānbhava || 14 ||

Therefore O Rama, do not like the imaginary man in the fable, place any reliance in your false personality; nor subject yourself like the egoistic man, to the fancied pleasure and misery of this world. (14b) Do not trouble yourself, like the erroneous man, with the vain care of preserving your vacuous soul; nor suffer like him the pain of your confinement in the hollow of the pit, pot and others.
