ततः पश्याम्यहं यावत्संपन्नोऽप्यणुरूपकः ।
चित्त्वाच्चेतस्तदेवाशु तथाभूतोऽस्मि संस्थितः ॥ १८ ॥

tataḥ paśyāmyahaṃ yāvatsaṃpanno'pyaṇurūpakaḥ |
cittvāccetastadevāśu tathābhūto'smi saṃsthitaḥ || 18 ||

Hence I believed myself as a minute atom, although I knew my soul to be beyond all bounds; and because I had the power of thinking, I thought myself as the thinking mind, and no more.
