Verse 3.60.50

कचने चित्स्वभावस्य न च कारणमार्गणम् ।
युक्तं महामणेर्भासामिवान्यत्र स्वभावतः ॥ ५० ॥

kacane citsvabhāvasya na ca kāraṇamārgaṇam |
yuktaṃ mahāmaṇerbhāsāmivānyatra svabhāvataḥ || 50 ||

It is in vain to enquire into the cause and manner, of the intellect's being combined with its thoughts at all times; since it is called the gem of thoughts (Chintamani), and must be always accompanied with its radiating thoughts, like a brilliant gem with its rays.
