चूडालोवाच ।
आत्मस्वभाववशतो जातं जगदिदं महत् ।

sthitiṃ vāsanayābhyetya dharmādharmavaśe sthitam || 1 ||

Chudala continues said:—It is the nature of everything in the extensive world to be born in its own kind (i.e. the similar only springs from the similar and nothing of a dissimilar kind). All persons and things continue to go on in it by their desires and tendencies, whether it be in the directions of virtue or vice or good or evil.
