अहंभावं नभोर्थेन निर्वाच्यारूढबाणवत् ।
अजस्रमाशु वाऽक्षीणं तिष्ठावष्टब्धतत्पदः ॥ १२ ॥

ahaṃbhāvaṃ nabhorthena nirvācyārūḍhabāṇavat |
ajasramāśu vā'kṣīṇaṃ tiṣṭhāvaṣṭabdhatatpadaḥ || 12 ||

Let the conviction of the non-ego supplant that of the ego, as a meaningless term, or as untrue as empty air, or a flower of the aerial arbour; and being fixed as an arrow in the bow-string of holy meditation, strive to hit at the mark of the Divine Essence.
