सत्तामात्रात्मनस्तस्य कुतो बुद्ध्यादयः किल ।
अविद्यमाने पृथ्व्यादौ खस्यानन्तस्य किं रजः ॥ ३ ॥

sattāmātrātmanastasya kuto buddhyādayaḥ kila |
avidyamāne pṛthvyādau khasyānantasya kiṃ rajaḥ || 3 ||

It is by its connection with the Intellect, that it has its understanding and the other faculties; or else it would [be] as blank as the void of the air, which could have no dust were it not for the earth underlying it.
