सूर्यादेः प्रतिबिम्बस्य तथा देहेन देहिनः ।
सम्यग्दृष्टे यथाभूते वस्तुन्येवाभिजायते ॥ १९ ॥

sūryādeḥ pratibimbasya tathā dehena dehinaḥ |
samyagdṛṣṭe yathābhūte vastunyevābhijāyate || 19 ||

The body is the image of the soul, as the sun seen in the waves is the reflection of that luminary; and though the body like the reflected sun, is seen to be moving and waving, yet its archetype—the soul, is ever as steady as the fixed and unfluctuating sun in the sky.
