Verse 3.96.55

यथैव पुरुषः स्नानदानादानादिकाः क्रियाः ।
कुर्वंस्तत्कर्तृवैचित्र्यमेति तद्वदिदं मनः ॥ ५५ ॥

yathaiva puruṣaḥ snānadānādānādikāḥ kriyāḥ |
kurvaṃstatkartṛvaicitryameti tadvadidaṃ manaḥ || 55 ||

The mind receives its various names from its different functions as a man is called a Snataka or early bather, and a data—donor, from his acts of sacred ablutions and religious gifts.
