सूक्ष्मच्छिद्रादिगत्यर्थं पूरणार्थं च खस्य वा ।
अणुतां स्थूलतां वापि कायोऽयं नीयते कथम् ॥ ६१ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
sūkṣmacchidrādigatyarthaṃ pūraṇārthaṃ ca khasya vā |
aṇutāṃ sthūlatāṃ vāpi kāyo'yaṃ nīyate katham || 61 ||

Rama rejoined:—Tell me sir, how our bodies are thinned as well as thickened, in order to enter into very narrow passages as also to feel and occupy large spaces.
