चितः स्वरूपं संस्थानमचेत्योन्मुखतात्मकम् ।
यः संकल्पनशब्दार्थरूपः स्पन्दो महाचितः ॥ ४२ ॥

citaḥ svarūpaṃ saṃsthānamacetyonmukhatātmakam |
yaḥ saṃkalpanaśabdārtharūpaḥ spando mahācitaḥ || 42 ||

The restoration of the intellect to its proper form consists in divesting it of all its intelligibles; and that form of it (which is marked by desire or the prurient soul), is no more than the oscillation of the great Intellect.
