Verse 7.17.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
अनहंवेदनादेवं शुभाशुभफलप्रदा ।
संसारफलिनी नूनमिच्छान्तरुपशाम्यति ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
anahaṃvedanādevaṃ śubhāśubhaphalapradā |
saṃsāraphalinī nūnamicchāntarupaśāmyati || 1 ||

Vasishtha said:—It is by means of the knowledge of one's want of egoism, that the arbour of his desire, which is productive of the fruit of worldliness, and which is fraught with the taste of all kinds of sweet and bitterness; may be checked in its growth.
