Verse 6.114.24

यथाम्बुधिर्वपुर्धत्ते स्वभावेन तथा चितः ।
कुर्वन्कर्मसहस्राणि ह्यणुचित्स्पन्दनादृते ॥ २४ ॥

yathāmbudhirvapurdhatte svabhāvena tathā citaḥ |
kurvankarmasahasrāṇi hyaṇucitspandanādṛte || 24 ||

As the sea bears its body of waters, so doth the mind show itself in the shape of its various faculties (which are in constant motion like the waves of water); the mental powers are always busy with their manifold functions under the influence of the supreme intellect, without affecting its tranquillity.
