Verse 7.17.3

अहंतापुटकोड्डीनपरबोधबलेरितः ।
अहमित्यर्थपाषाणो न जाने क्वाशु गच्छति ॥ ३ ॥

ahaṃtāpuṭakoḍḍīnaparabodhabaleritaḥ |
ahamityarthapāṣāṇo na jāne kvāśu gacchati || 3 ||

When the cannon-ball of egoism, is let to fly out from the gun of the mind by force of divine knowledge; we are at a loss to know, where the stone of egoism takes its flight.
