The soul is as the river, O Bharata, having several holy spots; truth is as its waters; selfcontrol, its banks; and kindness, its waves; the man of virtuous acts purifies himself be a bath therein; the soul is pure and the absence of desire is a virtue.
आत्मा नदी भारत पुण्यतीर्था सत्योदका धृतिकूला दयोर्मिः। तस्यां स्नातः पूयते पुम्यकर्मा पुण्यो ह्यात्मा नित्यमलोभ एव॥
