dattātreya uvāca
evametannaravyāghra ! yathaitadvyāhṛtaṃ tvayā /
mameti mūlaṃ duḥ kasya na mameti ca nirvṛteḥ //

Dattātreya spoke:
“It is even so, O tiger-hero! as thou hast just declared. The thought ‘it is mine’ is the root of pain; and the thought ‘it is naught of mine’ is the root of calmness. From my question indeed has this sublime knowledge sprung up in thee, who hast cast off the conviction ‘It is mine’, as if it were the cotton of the seemul tree.”[2]
