रश्मिजालं यथा सूर्ये यथालोकस्तु तेजसि ।
यथौष्ण्यं चित्रभानौ च मनसीदं तथा जगत् ॥ १३ ॥

raśmijālaṃ yathā sūrye yathālokastu tejasi |
yathauṣṇyaṃ citrabhānau ca manasīdaṃ tathā jagat || 13 ||

The world abides in the mind in the same manner, as the sun-beams abide in the sun, and as brightness consists in the light, and as the heat is contained in fire.
