Verse 6.69.4

श्रीराम उवाच ।
एकस्माद्भगवंश्चित्तात्कथं चित्तशतं कृतम् ।
तत्स्वप्नकृतरुद्रेण दीपाद्दीपशतं यथा ॥ ४ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
ekasmādbhagavaṃścittātkathaṃ cittaśataṃ kṛtam |
tatsvapnakṛtarudreṇa dīpāddīpaśataṃ yathā || 4 ||

Rama asked said:—But how could the one mind of the mendicant, be divided into a hundred in so many bodies of the Rudras; or was it undivided like a lamp, that lightens a hundred lamps, without any diminution of its own light.
