जीवो जीवत्वमेव स्वजीवत्वादेव च स्वतः ।
अन्तस्त्वेन वहिष्ट्वेन दृश्यते न च वायुवत् ॥ १४ ॥

jīvo jīvatvameva svajīvatvādeva ca svataḥ |
antastvena vahiṣṭvena dṛśyate na ca vāyuvat || 14 ||

The living soul is conscious of its self-existence, by its knowledge of living by itself;it is the instinct of the perception of things by the mind, and not merely as the breath of life or external air, which is devoid of consciousness.
