यथा कुसूले मार्जारो भस्त्रायां भुजगो यथा ।
मुक्ताफलं यथा वेणावहङ्कारस्तथा तनौ ॥ २३ ॥

yathā kusūle mārjāro bhastrāyāṃ bhujago yathā |
muktāphalaṃ yathā veṇāvahaṅkārastathā tanau || 23 ||

Egoism resides in the body like a rat in the barn-house, and as a snake in the hollow ground. It falls down as a dew drop from the blade of a reed, upon advance of the sunlight of reason.
