यत्र वेत्ति तु जीवत्वं तत्राविद्येति तिष्ठति ।
तत्र संसृतिनाम्नात्मा धत्ते रूपं तथास्थितम् ॥ ३२ ॥

yatra vetti tu jīvatvaṃ tatrāvidyeti tiṣṭhati |
tatra saṃsṛtināmnātmā dhatte rūpaṃ tathāsthitam || 32 ||

Whenever one knows himself as a mere living being, he is then certainly accompanied by his ignorance or avidya; and the soul takes the name of the animal spirit or life, which is conversant only with the world wherein it is situated.
