4.10

तासामनादित्वं चाशिषो नित्यत्वात् ॥१०॥
tasam anaditvam chashisho nityatvat ||10||

[RS] 4.10 The continuity arising from wish and reality has no beginning, for the will to live is eternal.

[JW] 4.10 Furthermore the [subconscious-impressions] have no beginning [that we can set in time], since desire is permanent.

[SS] 4.10 Since the desire to live is eternal, impressions are also beginningless. [p212]

[EB] 4.10 The samskaras are beginningless, because the desire [for life] is eternal. [p421]
