मूलं संसृतिदोषस्य मनो नाहं जडं हि तत् ।
अथ बुद्धिरहंकार इति दृष्टिर्मनोमयी ॥ १४ ॥

mūlaṃ saṃsṛtidoṣasya mano nāhaṃ jaḍaṃ hi tat ,
atha buddhirahaṃkāra iti dṛṣṭirmanomayī 14

14. manaḥ saṃsṛtidoṣasya mūlam aham na tat hi jaḍam
atha dṛṣṭiḥ buddhiḥ ahaṅkāraḥ iti manomayī

14. The mind is the root cause of the defect of transmigration (saṃsāra); I am not that mind, for it is indeed inert. Furthermore, the notion that 'I am the intellect and the ego' – this entire perspective is mind-born.
