श्रीराम उवाच ।
दृश्यते मानसादर्शे यन्त्रदार्वौदरेषु तत् ।
प्रतिबिम्बितमेतन्मे ब्रूहि ब्रह्मन्किमात्मकम् ॥ ३६ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
dṛśyate mānasādarśe yantradārvaudareṣu tat |
pratibimbitametanme brūhi brahmankimātmakam || 36 ||

Rama said:—I see that the reflections of things are cast in the mirror of the mind, like the images of things carved on wooden tablets and slabs of stone; but tell me sir, how the reflection of the image of God is cast on the mirror of the mind.
