करोति जंगमं चित्तः स्थावरं स्थावराकृतिः ।
भूत्वार्णवो वलयति भूस्त्रियं वलयो यथा ॥ २१ ॥

karoti jaṃgamaṃ cittaḥ sthāvaraṃ sthāvarākṛtiḥ |
bhūtvārṇavo valayati bhūstriyaṃ valayo yathā || 21 ||

In the form of the fleet mind, it moves the self-moving animals, and in that of dull matter it settles the unmoving immovables. It girds the earth by its form of the ocean, as a bracelet encircles the arm.
