भ्रमस्य जागतस्यास्य जातस्याकाशवर्णवत् ।
अहंभावोऽभिमन्तात्मा मूलमाद्यमुदाहृतम् ॥ २ ॥

bhramasya jāgatasyāsya jātasyākāśavarṇavat |
ahaṃbhāvo'bhimantātmā mūlamādyamudāhṛtam || 2 ||

The error of the world (the false conception of its reality), which covers the mind, as the green verdure of grass overspreads the face of the ground; has for its origin the idea of one's egoism, which takes its root in the human soul.
