Verse 6.96.38

विषबुद्ध्यामृतमपि भुक्तं विषरसायते ।
ईदृशश्च यथा वेत्ति यद्यदेष चिदीश्वरः ॥ ३८ ॥

viṣabuddhyāmṛtamapi bhuktaṃ viṣarasāyate |
īdṛśaśca yathā vetti yadyadeṣa cidīśvaraḥ || 38 ||

Ambrosia the water of life being taken in the light of poison, will act as poison in the constitution of the patient; so the lord of the intellect appears in a favourable or unfavourable light, as knowledge and ignorance of him represents him to our understanding.
