21. yat baddha-pīṭham abhitaḥ manasi pra-rūḍham

tat-rūpam eva iha puruṣaḥ bhavati na anyat

21. What is firmly established and deeply rooted in the mind, that form alone does a person (puruṣa) become in this world, nothing else. Any other means here, apart from the realization of that, I indeed consider fruitless, like watering a heap of stones.
