वासनां चित्तमेवाहुः कारणं तद्धि संसृतेः ।
तदकारणतामेति विलीयोभयकर्मसु ॥ २३ ॥

vāsanāṃ cittamevāhuḥ kāraṇaṃ taddhi saṃsṛteḥ |
tadakāraṇatāmeti vilīyobhayakarmasu || 23 ||

The desire constitutes the mind, which again is the cause of creation; it is therefore by the destruction of both of these, that one becomes motionless and inactive.
