जायते चित्तबीजस्य तेन बीजाङ्कुरक्रमः ।
वासनोत्प्लवमानत्वात्संवित्प्रक्षोभकर्मणा ॥ ५४ ॥

jāyate cittabījasya tena bījāṅkurakramaḥ |
vāsanotplavamānatvātsaṃvitprakṣobhakarmaṇā || 54 ||

The desire being the active principle of man, and subversive of his passive consciousness; it tends to unfold the seed of the mind, as moisture serves to expand the sprouts of vegitable seeds.
