संकल्पनं मनो विद्धि संकल्पात्तन्न भिद्यते ।
यथो द्रवत्वात्सलिलं तथा स्पन्दो यथानिलात् ॥ ४३ ॥

yatho dravatvātsalilaṃ tathā spando yathānilāt 43

yathā u dravatvāt salilam tathā spandaḥ yathā anilāt

43. manaḥ saṃkalpanam viddhi.
tat saṃkalpāt na bhidyate.
yathā u salilam dravatvāt tathā spandaḥ anilāt
