39. The individual soul (jīva), indeed, serves as the chariot for this pure consciousness (citi). The ego (ahaṅkṛti) then becomes the chariot for the individual soul (jīva). The intellect (buddhi) is the chariot for the ego (ahaṅkṛti), and subsequently, the mind (manas) serves as the chariot for the intellect.
