Verse 6.96.51

सम्राट्संसारमाभासि भवतीव स्वयं वपुः ।
पश्यत्यथ सदेवेदं स्वरूपत्वात्सदेव वा ।
भावनाद्भूततामेति दृश्यं भवति च क्षणात् ॥ ५१ ॥

samrāṭsaṃsāramābhāsi bhavatīva svayaṃ vapuḥ |
paśyatyatha sadevedaṃ svarūpatvātsadeva vā |
bhāvanādbhūtatāmeti dṛśyaṃ bhavati ca kṣaṇāt || 51 ||

The self-same soul believes itself as viraj—the lord of the world at one time, and as contemptible being at another; it sometimes sees itself in its true form of a divinity, and its thought makes it think as some other thing at another time.
