कल्पाम्भसीव शफरी चित्ते स्फुरणधर्मिणि ।
स्वयं स्फुरत्यहंकारस्त्वमयं प्रोत्थितः कुतः ॥ ९ ॥

kalpāmbhasīva śapharī citte sphuraṇadharmiṇi |
svayaṃ sphuratyahaṃkārastvamayaṃ protthitaḥ kutaḥ || 9 ||

Again there is that little bit of egoism beating in our minds, like a small shrimp stirring amidst the waters; let it throb as it may, but why should we attribute it with the titles of "I, thou or he or this or that"?
