यदृच्छया स्थितो जीवो भूततन्मात्ररञ्जितः ।
कस्मिंश्चिदभवत्सर्गे भिक्षुरक्षुभितोऽभितः ॥ ९ ॥

yadṛcchayā sthito jīvo bhūtatanmātrarañjitaḥ |
kasmiṃścidabhavatsarge bhikṣurakṣubhito'bhitaḥ || 9 ||

It was by its own desire that the living soul assumed to itself a material body, formed and fashioned agreeably to its fancy, like a picture drawn in a painting; and became a mendicant in my person in one of its prior births, when it was unattached to the objects exposed to view all around.
