जीवेन भवति श्लिष्टः प्रतिबिम्बतया ततः ।
जीवज्ञेयत्वमायाति बाह्यं वस्त्विति राघव ॥ ३१ ॥

jīvajñeyatvamāyāti bāhyaṃ vastviti rāghava || 31 ||

The image that is cast on the retina of the eye, is reflected thence to the clearer mirror of the soul, which perceives it by contact with the same; and it is thus that outer things come to the knowledge of the living soul.
