श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
मनो हि न जडं राम नापि चेतनतां गतम् ।
म्लानाऽजडा तदा दृष्टिर्मन इत्येव कथ्यते ॥ ३७ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
mano hi na jaḍaṃ rāma nāpi cetanatāṃ gatam |
mlānā'jaḍā tadā dṛṣṭirmana ityeva kathyate || 37 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The mind, O Rama! is neither a gross substance nor an intelligent principle altogether: it is originally as intelligent as the intellect; but being sullied by the evils of the world and the passions and desires of the body, it takes the name of the mind.
