Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 3 Text 38
dhumenavriyate vahnir
yathadarso malena ca
yatholbenavrto garbhas
tatha tenedam avrtam

dhumena--by smoke; avriyate--is covered; vahnih--fire; yatha--justas; adarsah--mirror; malena--by dust; ca--also; yatha- just as; ulbena--by the womb; avrtah--is covered; garbhah--embryo; tatha--so; tena--by that lust; idam--this; avrtam--is covered.

TRANSLATION

As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, the living entity is similarly covered by different degrees of this lust.
