Verse 5.74.4

मनो बुद्धिरहंकारो वासनाश्चेन्द्रियाण्यपि ।
एवंकलितनामाङ्कैः स्फुरत्यात्माब्धिरम्बुभिः ॥ ४ ॥

mano buddhirahaṃkāro vāsanāścendriyāṇyapi |
evaṃkalitanāmāṅkaiḥ sphuratyātmābdhirambubhiḥ || 4 ||

It is then that the deep ocean of the soul boils in its various aspects of the mind, understanding, egoism, sensation and volition; as the sea when moved by the hot winds, bursts in the forms of foaming froths, waves and surges.
