शङ्खपद्मादिकं लोकं पाषाणे लिख्यते यथा ।
भूतं भवद्भविष्यच्च शिलायां शालभञ्जिका ॥ २० ॥

śaṅkhapadmādikaṃ lokaṃ pāṣāṇe likhyate yathā |
bhūtaṃ bhavadbhaviṣyacca śilāyāṃ śālabhañjikā || 20 ||

As it is the practice of men to paint blocks of stones, with the figures of lotuses, conch shells and the like images; so it is the tendency of the fanciful mind, to picture many fantastic of all times in the solid rock of the soul.
