Verse 6.118.15

कुचकोटरसंसुप्तं विस्मृत्य जननी सुतम् ।
यथा रोदिति पुत्रार्थं तथात्मार्थमयं जनः ॥ १५ ॥

kucakoṭarasaṃsuptaṃ vismṛtya jananī sutam |
yathā roditi putrārthaṃ tathātmārthamayaṃ janaḥ || 15 ||

Men are seen foolishly to wail for the loss of their souls, though lying within themselves; as a fond mother moans on missing her child, forgetful of its sleeping upon her lap.
