वटधाना वट इव यदन्तःस्थं सदात्मनः ।
तद्बहिर्भासते भास्वद्विकासे पुष्पगन्धवत् ॥ ३६ ॥

vaṭadhānā vaṭa iva yadantaḥsthaṃ sadātmanaḥ |
tadbahirbhāsate bhāsvadvikāse puṣpagandhavat || 36 ||

The big banyan tree and the little barley plants, are exact ectypes of their antitypes in the eternal mind; and they are exhibited out of it, as they are within it, like the fragrance of flowers diffused in the air.
