Verse 7.166.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
सार्थकेनात्मशब्देन ख्यातिशब्देन चोज्झिताम् ।
आत्मख्यातिमिमां विद्धि शिलाजठरनिर्घनाम् ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
sārthakenātmaśabdena khyātiśabdena cojjhitām |
ātmakhyātimimāṃ viddhi śilājaṭharanirghanām || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—The true sense of the word soul or self, is to be understood from the title which is applied to it; and this title of the soul is borne out by the simile, of the solid and transparent blue stone.
