संकल्पाच्चैव संकल्पा बोधाद्बुद्धिरिति स्मृता ॥ ३ ॥

jīvanājjīvatāṃ yātā mananācca manaḥsthitā |
saṃkalpāccaiva saṃkalpā bodhādbuddhiriti smṛtā || 3 ||

This intellect is the living principle from its vitality, and the mind from its mental powers; it is the volitive principle from its volition, and is called the understanding, from its understanding of all things.
