समकायशिरोग्रीवस्थानकः स महामतिः ।
आसीच्छैलादिवोत्कीर्णश्चित्रार्पित इवाथवा ॥ ६ ॥

samakāyaśirogrīvasthānakaḥ sa mahāmatiḥ |
āsīcchailādivotkīrṇaścitrārpita ivāthavā || 6 ||

The mind being disturbed and bewildered, makes the restless feelings and sensations, flow and fall to it, with the fierceness of boisterous rivers falling into the sea, which it breaks out and runs in the form of many a frith and firth into the land.
