प्रवाहपतितं सर्वं स्पन्दते शान्तमानसम् ।
तेषां कर्मेन्द्रियाण्येवमर्धसंसुप्तबालवत् ॥ २१ ॥

pravāhapatitaṃ sarvaṃ spandate śāntamānasam |
teṣāṃ karmendriyāṇyevamardhasaṃsuptabālavat || 21 ||

As sediments are swept away by the current of the stream, so the saintly and meek minded men are moved to action by a power not their own; they act with their organs of action with as much unconcern, as babes have the movements of their bodies, in their half-sleeping state.
