śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,
līlayā'paśyati vapuḥ kālenātmani jāyate ,
ramyasyāpaśyato vakraṃ hṛdi daurūpyadhīriva 1

ramyasya apaśyataḥ vakram hṛdi daurūpyadhīḥ iva

1. līlayā vapuḥ apaśyati kālena ātmani jāyate
ramyasya vakram apaśyataḥ hṛdi daurūpyadhīḥ iva

1. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: As if by a playful act (līlā), (the supreme consciousness) does not perceive the physical body; yet, in time, it (the body) arises within the self (ātman). This is analogous to the perception of ugliness (daurūpyadhī) that arises in the heart (hṛdi) of one who has not directly seen a beautiful face.
