कीटत्वमब्जजत्वं च मेरुत्वं मरुतां तथा ।
मनो जीवमहंकारबुद्धिचित्तादिनामकम् ॥ १८ ॥

kīṭatvamabjajatvaṃ ca merutvaṃ marutāṃ tathā |
mano jīvamahaṃkārabuddhicittādināmakam || 18 ||

This mind passes under the various names of the living principle, the understanding, the egoism, the heart &c.;and becomes as minute as an animalcule and an aquatic mollusc, and as big as a mountain and fleeter than the swiftest winds.
