तदत्र तावन्मांसास्थि नाहमेतदचेतनम् ।
न चैतन्मम संश्लेषमेत्यब्जस्य यथा जलम् ॥ १० ॥

tadatra tāvanmāṃsāsthi nāhametadacetanam |
na caitanmama saṃśleṣametyabjasya yathā jalam || 10 ||

But I perceive my body to be composed of flesh and bones; and not constituting my rational self; which like the lotus flower rises amidst the waters, without bearing any relation with that element.
