अहभावाच्चिदाकाशो जाड्यातिशयतः क्षणात् ।
पाषाणतां जलमिव मनस्त्वाद्याति देहताम् ॥ ५९ ॥

ahabhāvāccidākāśo jāḍyātiśayataḥ kṣaṇāt |
pāṣāṇatāṃ jalamiva manastvādyāti dehatām || 59 ||

The belief of our egoism or personality consisting in our gross bodies, serves to convert the aerial intellect to a gross substance in a moment; and make our mind as a part of the solid body, just as the rain drop is congealed to the hailstone.
