Verse 3.54.65

क्वचिदावृतिमत्सौम्यं क्वचिन्नद्यां जलं यथा ।
क्वचित्सौम्यं क्वचिज्जीवधर्मेदं चेतनं तथा ॥ ६५ ॥

kvacidāvṛtimatsaumyaṃ kvacinnadyāṃ jalaṃ yathā |
kvacitsaumyaṃ kvacijjīvadharmedaṃ cetanaṃ tathā || 65 ||

This consciousness is as clear as a fresh fountain in some persons, and as foul as tide water in others; it is bright in its form of the pure intellect—chit in some, and polluted with the passions of animal life, in its nature of the sentient or living soul—chetana in many.
