श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
साहंतादिजगच्छान्तौ बोधे संवित्कलात्मनि ।
संशान्तदीपसंकाशस्त्यागः सिद्ध्यति नान्यथा ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
sāhaṃtādijagacchāntau bodhe saṃvitkalātmani |
saṃśāntadīpasaṃkāśastyāgaḥ siddhyati nānyathā || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—The abandonment of the world (which is otherwise termed as liberation—moksha), is effected only upon subsidence of one's egoism and knowledge of the visibles in the conscious soul; in the manner of the extinction of a lamp for want of oil.
