Sanskrit: अत्रानात्मन्यहमिति मतिर्बन्ध एषोऽस्य पुंसः प्राप्तोऽज्ञानाज्जननमरणक्लेशसंपातहेतुः । नैवायं वपुरिदमसत्सत्यमित्यात्मबुद्ध्या पुष्यत्युक्षत्यवति विषयैस्तन्तुभिः कोशकृद्वत् 
English:  Identifying the Self with this non-Self – this is the bondage of man, which is due to his ignorance, and brings in its train the miseries of birth and death. It is through this that one considers this evanescent body as real, and identifying oneself with it, nourishes, bathes, and preserves it by means of (agreeable) sense-objects, by which he becomes bound as the caterpillar by the threads of its cocoon.
