3.1
आत्मा चित्तम् ātmā cittam
The line
The self is the mind.
नेपालीमा
आत्मा नै मन हो।
Where it sits
Opens the third awakening. 1.1 said the self is consciousness. This line says the self is the mind. Kṣemarāja (क्षेमराज) calls this awakening Āṇavopāya (आणवोपाय), the means that begins from the limited one. Both sentences stay. The sūtra (सूत्र) does not print the section name.
Split: ātmā (आत्मा) + cittam (चित्तम्)
