keyūramaulikaṭakaiśca lasatsvarūpaṃ tyaktvaiva kāñcanadhiyeva janena hema 19

19. cittam jaganti bhuvanāni vanāntarāṇi
saṃlakṣyate svayam upāgatam ātma-bhedaiḥ
keyūra-mauḷi-kaṭakaiḥ ca lasat-svarūpam
tyaktvā eva kāñcana-dhiyā iva janena hema

19. cittam svayam ātma-bhedaiḥ jaganti bhuvanāni vanāntarāṇi upāgatam saṃlakṣyate,

lasat-svarūpam hema tyaktvā eva

19. The mind (citta) itself appears as worlds, realms, and diverse forests, manifesting spontaneously through its own distinctions. This is just as people, by perceiving gold (hema) as armlets, crowns, and bracelets, disregard gold's intrinsic shining nature (svarūpa) in favor of these forms of ornamentation.
