यथा बीजाद्बृहद्वृक्षो व्योम व्याप्नोति कालतः ।
तथैवेदं स्वसंकल्पात्संवेद्यमसदुत्थितम् ॥ ८८ ॥

yathā bījādbṛhadvṛkṣo vyoma vyāpnoti kālataḥ |
tathaivedaṃ svasaṃkalpātsaṃvedyamasadutthitam || 88 ||

As a minute seed produces a large tree, stretching wide in the sky; so doth the minute mind produce these ideal worlds, which fill the empty space of the universe, and appear as real ones to sight.
