जरामरणमिच्छन्तश्च्यवन्ते तन्मनीषया ॥ १० ॥

Transliteration

jarāmaraṇanirmuktāḥ sarve dharmāḥ svabhāvataḥ |
jarāmaraṇamicchantaścyavante tanmanīṣayā || 10 ||

Translation

All the Jīvas are, by their very nature, free from senility and death. They think, as it were, that they are subject to these and thus by this very thought they appear to deviate from their very nature.
