मनोनिष्ठतया विश्वमिदं परिणतिं गतम् ।
घटत्वेनेव मृत्पिण्डो धूमोऽम्बुदतयैव च ॥ १४ ॥

manoniṣṭhatayā viśvamidaṃ pariṇatiṃ gatam |
ghaṭatveneva mṛtpiṇḍo dhūmo'mbudatayaiva ca || 14 ||

The mind which contains the ideal world in its bosom, exhibits its sensible form to the senses afterwards; as the clod of clay containing the mould of the pot, shows itself as the model of a pot to view; and the smoke having the pattern of the cloud in its essence, represents its shadowy forms in the sky.
