तेषां मूलं बृहत्स्तम्भं मनो व्याप्तजगत्त्रयम् ।
पञ्चस्रोतःशिराकृष्टमुक्तानन्तरसद्रवम् ॥ २३ ॥

teṣāṃ mūlaṃ bṛhatstambhaṃ mano vyāptajagattrayam |
pañcasrotaḥśirākṛṣṭamuktānantarasadravam || 23 ||

The mind is the great trunk of this tree, which comprehends the three worlds in it, and is swollen with the sap which it derives from them through its five fold organs of sense; as the stem of a tree thrive with the juice it draws by the cellular fibres of its roots.
